b, bulk density (g/cm3)

Bulk density, b , as recorded with the FDC* Compensated Formation Density or Litho-Density* logs, is converted to porosity with this chart. To use, enter bulk density, corrected for borehole size, in abscissa; go to the appropriate reservoir rock type and read porosity on the appropriate uid density, f , scale in ordinate. ( f is the density of the uid saturating the rock immediately surrounding the boreholeusually mud ltrate.)

Example: b = 2.31 g/cm3 in limestone lithology ma = 2.71 (calcite) f = 1.1 (salt mud) Therefore, D = 25 p.u.
