It is OK to use it for conventional reservoir. In this case, we like to know which part is pay or producing oil, which one is not.
For some unconventional reservoirs, especially, when using Fracking technology, all zones will be fractured and be part of producing zones. No pay zone or tight zone can be defined by the lower or no porosity. In this case, reserves is the function of PhiE*So*H. There is no need to use the porous zones and take out the tight zones by using a cut-off.
