Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the exploration, characterization, and development of oil and gas reservoirs. It covers topics such as drilling fluid technology for high-pressure and high-temperature environments, fluid loss control in fractured formations, and wettability modification for enhanced recovery. The journal also addresses reservoir characterization using artificial intelligence and machine learning, the extraction of strategic resources like helium, and the development of unconventional resources such as shale oil. Furthermore, it investigates enhanced oil recovery techniques, including nanoparticle-based methods and CO2 injection for both recovery and sequestration, as well as the challenges associated with heavy crude oil transportation and processing.
