Formula 6.56

Porosity by using density log data

Input(s)

$\rho_{b}$: Bulk Density $\left(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)$

$\rho_{m a}$: Matrix Density $\left(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)$

$\rho_{f}$: Average Fluid Density in Pore Spaces $\left(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)$

Output(s)

$\Phi$: Porosity (fraction)

Formula(s)

$$ \Phi=\frac{\rho_{m a}-\rho_{b}}{\rho_{m a}-\rho_{f}} $$
