This is a log of measurements along a well bore (a well-log). You could have found the code
PO10B in your log evaluation software or your corporate datastores.
Partial porosity from MRIL (single element) is the offical name for this log. The usage of this log is well established. The values of this log represent the contribution of porosity from a given "bin" (with certain characteristics) to the total porosity; e.g., in nuclear magnetic resonance data processing, the "bins" typically correspond to different pore size ranges. In general this is a measurement of the apparent porosity. In other words, the initial estimate of porosity, normally from logs, not corrected for the (often large) effects of clays, gas, etc. Such estimates should only be used for qualitative interpretation of clean, gas-free intervals.
Concluding, this is a measure of the pore volume per unit gross volume. Porosity is determined from measurements on cores or interpreted from logs.
In general this log thus reflects units of the volume fraction. This can be explained as being the ratio of the volumes occupied by two components, or by one component to the total volume of the system.
Data for this log is produced by a tool that uses a nmr logging technique and can be used to investigate the porosity of the formation. Similar logs are listed below:
