Open Journal Of Oil Gas And Coal Technology

Open Journal of Oil, Gas and Coal Technology (OJOGCT) focuses on the geology, petrology, geochemistry, and mineralogy of coal, oil/gas source rocks, and shales. With the journal, we aim to promote the exploration and utilization of these resources in an environmentally responsible manner, as well as the advancement of engineering and technology for effective resource management toward net-zero carbon emissions.

OJOGCT publishes research papers, reviews, case studies, and short communications related to Oil, Gas, and Coal Technology. A key principle of OJOGCT is not to exclude papers based on their subject matter, and it wishes to publish papers that present scientifically valid and technically correct findings.

The Open Journal of Oil, Gas and Coal Technology also publishes Research articles, Originals, Editorials, Reviews, Case reports, Letters to the Editor, Commentaries, book reviews, etc.
