Total sum of depth intervals of a given formation unit with porosity above the porosity cut-off:

h_{\rm eff} = \sum_k h_k |_{\phi_k > \phi_0} = NTG \cdot h_{\rm total}


It's closely related to concept of NTG Thickness:

h_{\rm eff} = NTG \cdot h_{\rm total}

where  is total thickness of formation unit.
