Effective porosity

Input(s)

VPeV_{P_{e}}: Effective Pore Volume (cm3)\left(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)

VbV_{b}: Bulk Volume (cm3)\left(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)

VoV_{o}: Total Oil Volume in Interconnected Pores (cm3)\left(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)

VgV_{g}: Total Gas Volume in Interconnected Pores (cm3)\left(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)

VwV_{w}: Total Water Volume in Interconnected Pores (cm3)\left(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)

Output(s)

eff: \varnothing_{\text {eff: }} \quad Effective Porosity (fraction)

Formula(s)

VPe=Vo+Vg+Vweff=VPeVb\begin{gathered} \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{e}}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{o}}+\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{g}}+\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{w}} \\ \varnothing_{\mathrm{eff}}=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{e}}}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{b}}} \end{gathered}
