          Welcome to the online submission and 
            editorial system of the J. 
            hydrocarb. mines environ. res.
          J. 
            hydrocarb. mines environ. res. is an international 
            interdisciplinary journal devoted to all aspects of research related 
            to the subject. The journal publishes high quality, peer-reviewed 
            scientific papers containing new insights into any aspect of Fundamental 
            or Applied Sciences, mainly on petroleum, ore exploration and exploitation, 
            borehole imagery, process control and electrification, economy and 
            marketing of hydrocarbons, equipment and pipelines in hydrocarbons 
            industry, process engineering and environment, clean energies, environmental 
            research related to water table, atmospheric pollution, waste, etc. 
            It will be devoted primarily to research papers but short communications 
            relating to new developments of broad interest, reviews and book reviews 
            will also be included. Papers must have international appeal and should 
            present work of more than local significance. 
            But scientific papers on the regional geology of the African-Middle-East 
            areas, especially the search for natural resources, are also welcome: 
            (i) economic geology of mineral deposits, (ii) applied geophysics, 
            geochemistry in the search for fossil fuels and water as well as for 
            environmental investigations to protect aquifer, hydrocarbon or ore 
            sites from pollution. 
            
            The scope includes geodynamics, fluids, fluxes and reservoirs of mineral 
            and energy resources, surface processes such as weathering, erosion, 
            transport and deposition of sediments and resulting geomorphology; 
            and the response of the Earth to global climate change as viewed within 
            the continents.
            
            The journal also welcomes special issues dealing with "Geology 
            of Africa and Middle-East" local review articles written by experts, 
            bringing together the latest earth science information such as fundamental 
            and applied geology, geophysics to hydrocarbons, mines and environment. 
            Special issues related to the following topics are also welcome: Seismology, 
            Geomorphology, Geophysics, Geochemistry, Petrology, Sedimentology, 
            Volcanology, Geochronology, Metamorphic and Structural Geology, Hydrology, 
            Geodynamics, Remote Sensing, Geomodelling, Paleoenvironment, Archeology, 
            Geoheritage, etc.
            
            In addition to peer-reviewed scientific and technical research papers, 
            the J. hydrocarb. mines environ. 
            res. publishes the following: 
            
            Opinion Section: An “Opinion Section” is provided 
            for timely expression of views and ideas in the petroleum industry 
            and associated research centres. The objective is to produce a column 
            which addresses developments in an interesting and lively manner. 
            These submissions will be dealt with by the Editor-in-Chief and the 
            Publisher, reviewed for reasonableness and published as rapidly as 
            possible. The full text of these papers will also be available on 
            our website.
          Case Histories: A case history 
            should integrate data from several disciplines to explain how a prospective 
            area was explored and/or developed. Ideally, this integrated story 
            would combine elements of geology, geophysics, petrophysics and reservoir 
            engineering.
            The objectives of a case history paper are to explain which data were 
            used to evaluate a prospect or reservoir system, the type of analysis 
            procedures that were employed, and the conclusions which were reached, 
            so that others can decide which type of data and which methodologies 
            would be most effective for evaluating the properties that they manage 
            or explore.
          Review Papers: A review paper 
            provides an overview of a specific topic which is of general interest 
            to a significant segment of the journal readership. The topic being 
            discussed can be a technology which has been practiced for a number 
            of years, or a new emerging technology which appears to offer great 
            promise. A review paper should be structured so that it informs and 
            educates those who have had little exposure to the subject matter 
            under discussion, rather than as a exposition to further the scientific 
            concepts of the subject. Examples of review papers could be a discussion 
            of crosswell seismic profiling (an emerging geophysical technology), 
            structured so that it informs reservoir engineers and development 
            geologists on the way in which crosswell technology can help them 
            evaluate reservoir systems, or an explanation of the current global 
            positioning (GPS) technology, to inform all geoscientists about methods 
            by which they can access and use GPS data in their respective disciplines.
          Special Issues and Theme Papers: 
            On a regular basis, issues dedicated to a single topic will be 
            considered for inclusion in the journal. The material can either be 
            derived from a workshop or conference, or be collected on the initiative 
            of a Guest Editor. All proposals for special issues and theme papers 
            will be evaluated by the editorial team. Some papers might be received 
            as unsolicited manuscripts and will be held, with the author’s 
            consent, for the proper theme-related volume.
            
            The J. hydrocarb. mines environ. 
            res. presents also short articles as "short 
            notes" revealing new research discoveries in Africa and Middle-East 
            as well, special research issues related to climate changes in arid, 
            semi-arid areas, including scientific proceedings of African and Middle-East 
            projects. The journal is affiliated both with Academic institutions 
            (University of Rennes 1 [France], Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical 
            University of Oil and Gas [Ukraine], University of Boumerdès 
            [Algeria], etc.) and Industrial institutions such as Oil and mining 
            companies (Schlumberger, Sonatrach, etc.). 
            
            Finally, we would like to make the J. 
            hydrocarb. mines environ. res. your prime source 
            of information.
