Wikipedia:
A measure of the void spaces in a material, and
is measured as a fraction, between 0–1, or as a
percentage between 0–100%.
Schlumberger Oilfield Glossary:
The percentage of pore volume or void space, or
that volume within rock that can contain fluids.
Any Reservoir Engineering Book:
A measure of the space available for storage of
petroleum hydrocarbon.(0.10<φ <0.40).

Mathematical Expression of
Porosity
Effective Porosity:
The ratio of the interconnected void space in a
rock to the bulk volume of that rock.
