Discrepancies often exist between laboratory determined porosity values and porosities derived from downhole logs. Some of these discrepancies result from differences inherent in comparing direct measurements of physical properties made on small samples with indirect assessments of averaged properties. Many of these discrepancies, however, can be explained by noting differences in the definition and assessment of porosity ([[:file:porosity_fig1.png|Figure 1]]).
