Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the geological and geochemical aspects of hydrocarbon exploration and production. It investigates reservoir characteristics, including pore structures, mineral composition, and diagenesis in various rock types like tight sandstone and shale. The journal also examines organic matter maturity, hydrocarbon generation, migration, and accumulation, utilizing geochemical analyses and simulation experiments. Furthermore, it addresses methodologies for reservoir evaluation, fluid property interpretation, and the impact of geological factors on production, particularly in unconventional reservoirs.
