As the world population increases, the demand for hydrocarbons also increases. To meet global energy requirements, we need to explore and seek other energy sources and develop already explored hydrocarbon basins with the latest technologies. Hydrocarbon resources in developing economies are under stress due to unplanned development and a lack of technology to discover and develop hydrocarbon fields. Therefore, in the 21st century, exploration, and production (E&P) companies focus on conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons to meet world energy requirements. Recently, characterization of reservoirs using integrated analyses of seismic attributes, petrophysical analysis, seismic inversion, and structural analysis has become a standard exploration and production tool, particularly in mature hydrocarbon provinces, where conventional reservoirs are present. Recently, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) has increasingly been recognized as crucial for the exploration of unconventional hydrocarbons.
This Research Topic aims to collect world-class cutting-edge research on how individuals, businesses, societies, and governments adopt various types of techniques and tools for enhancing hydrocarbon exploitation. Particularly, this Research Topic is devoted to addressing scholars from Earth sciences, geology, energy research, petroleum geosciences, geophysics, and environmental fields of research, who are willing to combine strong theoretical underpinnings and world-class empirical evidence. The hydrocarbon industry has been developing day by day with the latest technologies, which motivate the researcher to seek and explore more challenging exploration targets such as complex reservoirs and unconventional reservoirs. In the 21st century, exploration, and production companies (E&P) focus on unconventional reservoirs.
We welcome submissions on the topics below but are not limited to:
• Exploring the role of AI in prospects evaluation;
• Unconventional resources evaluation;
• Petrophysics and petroleum geology;
• Case studies and review of unconventional resources;
• Conventional and unconventional geophysical tools for hydrocarbon exploration;
• Big data, cloud computing, and smart technologies for seismic data analysis;
• Integrated studies through geological and geophysical data sets;
• Source rock geochemistry.
