Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The petroleum industry is continually evolving, driven by technological advancements and a deepened understanding of Earth's geology. These developments consistently redefine the boundaries of oil and gas exploration. However, as our expertise in various domains improves, the once-abundant and easily accessible petroleum reserves are dwindling. Furthermore, the pressing challenge facing our civilization is to devise sustainable exploration strategies while addressing concerns such as carbon sequestration.
This Special Issue on petroleum exploration and structural geology delves into the latest research, methodologies, and case studies, highlighting the intertwined relationship between the examination of Earth's structures and the search for concealed hydrocarbon reserves. Structural geology, which sheds light on Earth's layer deformations, provides invaluable insights into locating and accessing petroleum reserves.
In this Special Issue, we invite authors to present their groundbreaking findings, breakthroughs, and narratives, with the aim of fostering a comprehensive understanding of the nuances and challenges in contemporary petroleum exploration.
