This leads to the effect of Porosity Shrinkage.
Since the pore compressibility is very low (~ crϕ = 0.5 ÷ 1.5 GPa-1) for all and has a weak dependence on reservoir pressure for subsurface rocks in petroleum reservoirs the

Most Subsurface E&P Disciplines (except Petrophysics) usually omit index "e" and denote Effective porosity as
