Magnetite has been important in understanding the conditions under which rocks form. Magnetite reacts with oxygen to produce hematite, and the mineral pair forms a buffer that can control oxygen fugacity. Commonly, igneous rocks contain solid solutions of both titanomagnetite and hemoilmenite or titanohematite.

Well perforating is the process of punching a hole in the wellâs cement liner (or casing) in order to enable the reservoir connection to be made.
