GeoArabia is an international quarterly journal dedicated to the publication of petroleum geoscience studies in the Middle East. GeoArabia’s papers are each rigorously reviewed by at least two anonymous referees before being considered for publication. Accepted papers are edited and designed professionally by GeoArabia’s staff.

The members of the Editorial Board are technical leaders who represent oil and gas corporations, societies, geological surveys, and universities. They are nominated by their organizations in recognition for their outstanding contributions to the Middle East geosciences and their support for the journal. The journal also facilitates professional networking and technical exchanges between the members of the board, authors, reviewers and readers.

GeoArabia is sponsored by corporations through advertisement pages. Additionally corporate sponsors receive many hardcopies of the journal as well as access to the papers in Adobe Acrobat portable document format (pdf) at the website www.gulfpetrolink.com. The sponsors are free to use the papers and the contained graphics in any manner whatsoever for internal purposes, including electronic copying, intranet distribution, and the preparation of inhouse graphics. Reproduction of GeoArabia’s graphics by corporate sponsors for external purposes (such as conference presentations or publications in other journals) requires the mention of the original authors followed by “courtesy of GeoArabia” in the figure caption.
