Insufficient evidence of notability. No sources except a listing which merely confirms its existence. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:57, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Journal is included in several selective major databases. According to the Journal Citation Reports it has the highest impact factor (2.026) of all journals in the category "Engineering, Petroleum" and in the much larger category ""Geosciences, Multidisciplinary" it still ranks in the upper third (48 out of 167). Meets WP:NJournals. I have added the foregoing IF and ranking info to the article (with ref). As an aside, it would be good if some more people could watchlist this because some (probably COI) editors are trying to insert some promotional language into the article. --Crusio (talk) 14:46, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Journal has over 300 hits in Google Scholar. It is continuously listed in this search engine when looking for the World's largest petroleum reservoirs, i.e. Kharaib, Shu'aiba, Khuff and Arab. The journal provides an important reference for petroleum-related research which is particularly important in times of shrinking hydrocarbon resources. --dr_geol
