In many practical cases the pore compressibility can be considered as independent on reservoir pressure variation:

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyc_\phi(p) = c_r\phi= \rm const
.

But in case the reservoir pressure is changing substantially one may need to account for the effect it takes on pore compressibility.

The model usually relates pore compressibility 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyc_\phi(p)
to a given pressure 
LaTeX Math Inline
bodyp
  and initial pore compressibility

body--uriencoded--c_%7B\phi i%7D
at initial formation pressure
