Petroleum Geoscience focuses on the characterization of petroleum systems, including source rock evaluation, reservoir quality analysis, and hydrocarbon migration pathways. The journal investigates the geological controls on hydrocarbon accumulation, reservoir heterogeneity, and the application of advanced analytical techniques such as seismic interpretation, geochemical analyses, and machine learning for exploration and production. Studies also address unconventional reservoirs, natural gas hydrates, and the impact of diagenetic processes and organic matter on reservoir properties.
