The objective of the Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering is to bridge the gap between the engineering, the geology and the science of petroleum and natural gas by publishing explicitly written articles intelligible to scientists and engineers working in any field of petroleum engineering, natural gas engineering and petroleum (natural gas) geology. An attempt is made in all issues to balance the subject matter and to appeal to a broad readership.The Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering covers the fields of petroleum (and natural gas) exploration, production and flow in its broadest possible sense. Topics include: origin and accumulation of petroleum and natural gas; petroleum geochemistry; reservoir engineering; reservoir simulation; rock mechanics; petrophysics; pore-level phenomena; well logging, testing and evaluation; mathematical modelling; enhanced oil and gas recovery; petroleum geology; compaction/diagenesis; petroleum economics; drilling and drilling fluids; thermodynamics and phase behavior; fluid mechanics; multi-phase flow in porous media; production engineering; formation evaluation; exploration methods; CO2 Sequestration in geological formations/sub-surface; management and development of unconventional resources such as heavy oil and bitumen, tight oil and liquid rich shales.Papers will be published with the minimum of publication delay. Research articles, case histories, field process reports, short communications, book reviews, symposia proceedings and review articles are accepted. Generally, review articles on some topic of special current interest will be published.

石油科學與工程雜志的目的是之間的橋梁工程，科學的地質(zhì)和石油和天然氣通過發(fā)布明確的書面文章理解科學家和工程師工作在任何石油工程領(lǐng)域，天然氣工程地質(zhì)學和石油(天然氣)。在所有問題上都力求平衡主題，并吸引廣泛的讀者。石油科學和工程雜志涵蓋了最廣泛意義上的石油（和天然氣）勘探、生產(chǎn)和流動領(lǐng)域。專題包括：石油和天然氣的來源和積累；石油地球化學；儲油層工程；儲油層模擬；巖石力學；石油物理學；孔級現(xiàn)象；測井、測試和評價；數(shù)學模型；加強油氣回收；石油地質(zhì)學；壓實/成巖作用；石油經(jīng)濟學；鉆井和鉆井液；熱力學和相行為；流體力學；多孔介質(zhì)中的多相流；生產(chǎn)工程；地層評價；勘探方法；二氧化碳在地質(zhì)形態(tài)/地下的固存；重油和瀝青等非常規(guī)資源的管理和開發(fā)；緊油和富含液體的頁巖。論文將在最短的延遲時間內(nèi)發(fā)表。研究論文、案例記錄、現(xiàn)場過程報告、簡短的交流、書評、研討會論文集和綜述文章均可接受。一般來說，我們會發(fā)表一些關(guān)于當前特別感興趣的話題的評論文章。
