Definition from
Canadian Association Petroleum Producers:
The volume of spaces within rock that might contain oil and gas (like the amount of water a sponge can hold); the open or void space within rock – usually expressed as a percentage of the total rock volume. Thus porosity measures the capacity of the rock to hold natural gas, crude oil or water.
Example sentences:
The porosity profile in any individual well depends on the maximum effective stress, which is generally determined by the maximum burial depth. (U.S. Geological Survey)
Carbonate reservoirs have lower values of median and maximum porosity for a given burial depth, probably because of greater chemical reactivity of carbonate minerals relative to quartz and the resulting lower resistance to chemical compaction and associated cementation. (GeoScienceWorld)
Porosity and permeability reduction due to burial and compaction acts differently on different sediment types. Sandstone is more resistant to porosity and perm reduction due to compaction, whereas shales and siltstone are generally more prone to perm reduction. (All Experts)

Porositeit
Definition from
TNO Bouw en Ondergrond:
Porositeit is het volume aan open ruimten tussen gesteentedeeltjes.
Example sentences:
Porositeit of poreusheid is de aanwezigheid van kleine openingen (poriën) in een materiaal. (Wikipedia)
Belangrijke grondstoffen zoals olie, gas en minerale delfstoffen komen immers alleen in grote hoeveelheden voor in gesteenten die voldoende porositeit bevatten. Verschillende factoren beïnvloeden de porositeit van een gesteente, zoals de aard van het oorspronkelijke sediment, de hoeveelheid cementen die ontstaat tussen de korrels en de intensiteit van compactie. (An Smeesters)
