This journal focuses on the characterization of subsurface formations and reservoirs, primarily for hydrocarbon exploration and production. It covers methods for analyzing rock and fluid properties, including porosity, permeability, saturation, and wettability. The journal also addresses techniques for reservoir modeling, fracture analysis, and the assessment of formation integrity under various conditions, such as CO2 sequestration and water invasion.
