Editor
AAPG Bulletin
In calendar year 2006, 146 manuscripts were submitted to the Bulletin compared with 197 manuscripts 1738 Annual Report submitted in 2005 and 142 manuscripts submitted in 2004. Of the papers received in 2006, 52.1% were accepted for publication with revisions. The average number of days from submittal to decision rendered was 89 days in 2006.
In calendar year 2006, 80 papers were published. Papers published were authored by geoscientists around the world and included 73 (91%) regional studies and 7 (9%) topical (non-geographical) studies. Of the regional studies, 25 (34%) of the papers addressed subjects from areas in the United States, 15 (20%) from Latin America, 14 (19%) from Europe, 10 (14%) from the Asia/Pacific area, 7 (10%) from Canada, and 2 (3%) from Africa. These papers covered a broad array of topics of interest to petroleum geoscientists and emphasized reservoir characterization, sequence stratigraphy, sedimentology, structural geology/tectonics, seismic interpretation, basin analysis and modeling, and petroleum systems/hydrocarbon generation and migration. Emphasis has been placed on publishing more contributions to the E&P Notes section of the Bulletin. In this regard, two theme volumes were published in 2006: one on the Maracaibo Basin and one on hydrothermally altered carbonate reservoirs. A theme volume on the Barnett Shale was published in April 2007. In addition, general geologic papers that have a high potential to assist petroleum geologists with finding and producing more oil and gas were published as contributions to the Geologic Notes section, and papers addressing current technical methodologies that have potential application to reducing petroleum exploration risk, to enhancing hydrocarbon recovery, and to reducing field operation and reservoir production costs were included in the Geohorizons section of the Bulletin.
