A pore volume \Omega_\phi fraction of bulk rock volume \Omega_r containing the hydrodynamically connected fluids (also called free fluids) within each pore element:
\phi_e = V_\phi = \frac{\Omega_\phi}{\Omega_r} |
It splits into two components: open porosity and closed porosity:
\phi_e = V_{\rm open} + V_{\rm closed} |
The log name is PHIE.
Effective porosity is a function of reservoir pressure at a given location
p({\bf r})
(1) | \phi(\mathbf{r}, \ p) = \phi_0(\mathbf{r}) \exp \left[ - \int_{p_i}^p c_r(p) \, dp \right] |
