The Beginning: the Journal of Natural Gas Engineering

Abstract

Welcome to the fi rst issue of the Journal of Natural Gas Engineering (JNGE). This is a new journal with the sole focus on natural gas engineering. The majority of the papers will be peer-reviewed, but there will be the occasional invited article. And like this issue, there will be some special thematic issues. The scope of JNGE will cover all aspects of the natural gas world from the subsurface, wells and production, gathering systems, processing through to the delivery point including related topics such as physical properties, phase equilibrium, corrosion and materials selection, etc. The journal will include theoretical studies, laboratory experiments, fi eld and plant data, and computer simulations – anything that deals with natural gas.
