since hydrocarbon sources have an important role in development of industry and technology, exploration of them has been lionized by human. the seismic reflection method is one of the most applicable investigative methods to identify the hydrocarbon reservoirs, but in some cases this method does not work well because of geology conditions and wave attenuation in depth. thus, some exploration me...

natural gas is one of the hydrocarbon resources which is consumed vastly in the world. the asian and european markets, facing with a growing demand of hydrocarbon resources especially natural gas, are the most important consuming markets. hence, the security of natural gas supply is very important. based on the estimation of gas supply security index (gssi), the amount of vulnerability of selec...

Here we introduce a MIxS extension to facilitate the recording and cataloguing of metadata from samples related to hydrocarbon resources. The proposed MIxS-HCR package incorporates the core features of the MIxS standard for marker gene (MIMARKS) and metagenomic (MIMS) sequences along with a hydrocarbon resources customized environmental package. Adoption of the MIxS-HCR standard will enable the...

Countries all over the world struggle to exploit their Unconventional Hydrocarbon Resources (UHR) secure energy supply, but only a few of them have succeeded. Regulators and decision-makers should understand critical factors required for companies attract capital, technology, good practices promote innovation generate virtuous cycle that translates into sustainable production. This study seeks ...
