Dear Editor-in Chief of JPSE,

I am submitting the manuscript “An analysis of standard permeability stress - dependent

relationships in homogeneous elastic porous media” for consideration in the Journal of Petroleum
Science and Engineering. The manuscript presents the application of four permeability constitutive
relationships considered to simulate fluid flow in the linear region of homogeneous porous media. The
relationships are applied to two cases published in the literature regarding experiments in a sandstone
and limestone. The results show all permeability relationships can be approached by a linear stress
dependence in the elastic region.

The presented work is original and has not been published nor submitted to publication in other
journals.

Thanks for your consideration.

Yours Sincerely,
Mario E. Vadillo – Sáenz
