Weyl in the 1970s is used to calculate the initial porosity of unconsolidated sandstone [25].
The formulas are expressed as follows:
P1
Φ2 = W+ × P3 (3)
P2
( Φ 1 − Φ2 )
Compaction porosity loss rate = × 100% (5)
Φ1
According to the calculation and analysis of casting thin section data (Table 3), the
primary intergranular pore surface porosity (P1 ) was 0.0–6.0%, with an average of 1.2%;
the total surface porosity (P2 ) was 0.2–15.0%, with an average of 5.0%; and the measured
physical property analysis porosity (P3 ) was 4.3–18.7%, with an average of 9.8%. The
cement content (W) was 2.0–21.0%, with an average of 8.0%.
According to the formula above, the porosity (Φ2 ) of the remaining sandstone after
compaction was 1.8–21.0%, with an average of 9.7% (Table 3).
