Advances in Petroleum Engineering and Petroleum Geochemistry: Proceedings of the 1st Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (Cajg-1
暫譯: 石油工程與石油地球化學的進展：第一屆春季會議阿拉伯地球科學期刊會議論文集

本書是基於2018年在突尼西亞舉行的第一屆斯普林格阿拉伯地球科學期刊會議（CAJG-1）中接受發表的最佳論文編輯而成。這本書對於石油工程、油藏工程和石油地球化學領域的所有研究人員都具有興趣。中東和北非（MENA）地區擁有全球超過50%的碳氫化合物儲量。儘管是全球最大的石油和天然氣生產國，MENA國家在石油工程、油藏建模和生產優化方面仍面臨常見問題。本書提供了有關油藏工程、岩石物理工程、石油系統建模、非常規能源資源及石油生產對環境影響的最新資訊和觀點。

主要主題包括：
1. 油藏岩石的岩石物理特徵的進展
2. 增強石油回收方法
3. 石油勘探和管理的進展
4. 碳氫化合物來源潛力的評估及石油系統建模
5. 非常規能源資源
