Measured density is the sum of the rock system density and the pore fluid system density. Density values can therefore be used directly to identify lithology only when the porosity is insignificant. In porous rocks, density must be interpreted in combination with neutron or other porosity logs. | Measured density is the sum of the rock system density and the pore fluid system density.
