Table 1. Inputs Used for the Calculation of Porosity from the NPHI and RHOB log.

name unit description default value
neutron porosity v/v reading the neutron porosity log (limestone porosity units) obligatory
bulk density g/cm3 reading bulk density log obligatory
shale volume v/v shale volume (considered moistened as this is an effective porosity computation) obligatory
true formation resistivity Ohm/m–1 true resistivity log. required for unflushed zone saturation elective
flushed zone resistivity Ohm/m–1 micro resistivity log. required for flushed zone saturation elective
formation water resistivity Ohm/m–1 water resistivity of the formation elective
formation temperature DegF temperature of the formation obligatory
general flag unitless bad hole flag, no computation is performed where flag = 1 elective
