Petroleum Geology & Experiment is co-sponsored by the Sinopec Petroleum Exploration and Production Research Institute and the Commission on Petroleum Geology of the Geological Society of China. The journal is dedicated to advancing theoretical and technical developments and facilitating academic exchanges in petroleum geology exploration. It serves as a platform for disseminating emerging theories, methods, and findings related to petroleum geological exploration and experimental techniques from both China and around the world. Our primary readers consist of scientific and technical professionals in the global petroleum and natural gas industry.

Petroleum Geology & Experiment is a bimonthly journal published on the 28th of each odd month. The full-text articles are available on the journal's official website and WeChat Official Account, as well as various databases such as CNKI, WanFang Data, and Weipu. Additionally, a printed version is also circulated, ensuring accessibility to all interested parties.

The journal's regular columns include Basin Reservoirs, Petroleum Geochemistry, and Methods and Techniques.
