Aims & Scope

Improving oil and gas recovery plays a critical role in supplying the energy needs of United States and the rest of the world. Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and hydraulic fracturing are the key technologies to improve oil and gas recovery, especially for unconventional reservoirs. A very large number of technical people are actively engaged in the theory and practice of EOR and hydraulic fracturing, and thanks to their ingenuity, the industry has witnessed a tremendous progress in methodology, procedures, tools, materials, and practice of the process. Unfortunately, much of the publications related to improve oil and gas recovery technologies are scattered through different trade journals in the form of single articles. An attempt is made in all issues to balance the subject matter and to appeal to a broad readership. Our aim is to bring all improving oil and gas recovery related technologies in one journal, and that is what the journal of Improved Oil and Gas Recovery (Electronic ISSN: 2688-8246 | Abbr.:Improv Oil Gas Recover, IOGR) intends to provide. IOGR is a fully open access and peer-reviewed journal publishing articles of the highest quality related to technologies for improving oil and gas recovery.
