The Journal of Petroleum Geology focuses on the characterization of petroleum systems, including source rock potential, reservoir properties, and hydrocarbon generation and migration. Research encompasses palynofacies analysis, geochemical studies, and petrophysical evaluations of various sedimentary formations. The journal also covers topics related to enhanced oil recovery, carbon storage feasibility, and the application of machine learning in petroleum geosciences.
