STM publisher Elsevier has announced the launch of a new journal - Journal of Unconventional Oil and Gas Resources (JUOGR).
JUOGR will publish world-class science focusing on recent advances in knowledge and practices in the area of evaluation, development and management of unconventional resources for researchers and practicing engineers. The journal aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and field development of unconventional resources, such as tight gas, shale gas, liquid rich shales, tight oil, coalbed methane, gas hydrate, etc.
Journal of Unconventional Oil and Gas Resources will publish four volumes in 2013. It will be edited by Dr. John Yilin Wang from Pennsylvania State University, supported by a distinguished board of subject editors including leading experts in the field of petroleum geology, geophysics, and engineering.
