مستخلص: This research was conducted to determine how the incorporation of different poroelastic equations would affect the measured rock matrix bulk modulus in the laboratory. To do this, three experimental methods were used to measure the matrix bulk modulus, K s , of seven sandstone specimens taken from the Świętokrzyskie mine in Poland. Those experimental methods were based on the different governing equations in poroelasticty theory. The matrix bulk modulus has a substantial impact on the rock strength against external stresses. Moreover, the rock bulk modulus depends directly on two components: the pore fluid bulk modulus and matrix bulk modulus. The second one is more important as it is much higher than the first one. In this study, the accuracy of those three methods in the measurement of the matrix bulk modulus was evaluated. For this purpose, an acoustic wave propagation apparatus was used to perform the required tests. For each method, an empirical correlation was extracted between the matrix bulk modulus and the applied hydrostatic stress. In all the experiments, an exponential correlation was observed between the matrix bulk modulus and the hydrostatic stress applied on the rock. Furthermore, it was found that the incorporation of the dry bulk modulus in the calculations led to an underestimation of the matrix bulk modulus. In addition, as the hydrostatic stress was raised, the matrix bulk modulus also increased. The applied methodology can be deployed to determine the matrix bulk modulus in coupled rock-fluid problems such as reservoir depletion, hydraulic fracturing, oil recovery enhancement, underground gas storage and land subsidence.
