Effective porosity is most commonly considered to represent the porosity of a rock or
sediment available to contribute to fluid flow through the rock or sediment
Permeability is the property of rocks that is an indication of the ability for fluids (gas
or liquid) to flow through rocks
Water Saturation The fraction of water in a given pore space. It is expressed in
volume/volume, percent or saturation units. Unless otherwise stated, water saturation
is the fraction of formation water in the undisturbed zone
Total Porosity The total porosity of a porous medium is the ratio of the pore volume
to the total volume of a representative sample of the medium.
Shale Volume volume of fissile rock that is formed by the consolidation of clay,
mud, or silt, has a finely stratified or laminated structure, and is composed of minerals
essentially unaltered since deposition.
