Petroleum Geology and Geochemistry of Sedimentary Basins
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the Topic “Petroleum Geology and Geochemistry of Sedimentary Basins”, devoted to a broad spectrum of research in the field, including the origin, storage, pathways and characterization of hydrocarbons, both as traditional economic sources and for several application purposes. Applications may include ways and solutions dealing with greenhouse gases in a wide scope, i.e., from fossil sources to storage in the geological realms.
In the context of an increasing demand for energy resources and for answers to global warming at the same time, petroleum geology and geochemical research are positioned in the middle of these issues, considering that hydrocarbon sources will remain essential during an energy transition scenario for humankind in the coming decades. Therefore, we are seeking not only alternative sources of energy but also new ways to improve reservoir modeling and recovery of hydrocarbons from both fresh and mature fields, and its unconventional sources, such as shale gas, tight oil, etc.
Our goal for this Topic is to gather topical, high-quality works in a concise collection focusing on petroleum geology and geochemistry, namely geology, geochemistry and mineralogy of conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources, including excellent reviews in these topics.
