Nihal Velagapudi's Peer Review[edit]

Lead Section: The lead section present in the article draft effectively encapsulates and describes the topic of petroleum reservoirs, as well as provides relevant background information. The first sentence defines the topic while the following paragraph discusses formation of petroleum reservoirs and different categories. I would say that the lead section could briefly mention oil fields as the current article draft's body focuses on that topic. However, seeing as the actual full article focuses on more topics than just oil fields, it may not be necessary to add this feature to the lead section.

Structure: The current structure of the draft consists of the lead section, a large section focusing on oil fields, and a section on unconventional reservoirs, followed by the reservoirs. The draft mostly focuses on oil fields, but the entire article has several sections and subsections beyond what is in the draft, so I do not think that there is too much focus on oil fields. Additionally, the structure of the draft seems a bit out of place, but in the full article, the structure is logical and efficient. However, in terms of the full article, I think that the formation section could be placed first in terms of the order as it would make more sense to discuss how petroleum reservoirs are created and then describe the different types of fields (oil and gas).

Balance of Coverage: The article draft seems to focus primarily on oil fields, but the entire article includes various other topics and subsections. As such, although the section on oil fields appears to be too long, I think that in terms of the full article, it has an appropriate length. Since this is generally a scientific piece that provides objective information, I don't think that there are any issues with missing viewpoints and perspectives.

Point of View: I think that the article draft does an excellent job at staying neutral and objective on the topic. For example, even though financial/economic background and political conflicts are mentioned, the article does not talk about the author's opinions or beliefs regarding those issues. Much of the information in the article consists of facts and statistics that are elaborated upon to give a more in-depth analysis of the topic.

Sources: The article draft contains many references that varied in nature, including a government organization's website, a book detailing the petroleum industry's history, and a research paper. The sources all appear to be reliable, and one is not overly relied on. The full article contains many more references and sources beyond what is present in the article draft. However, I will say that the oil fields section could use more citations as the other article sections contain much more frequent citations and the oil fields section only has a few citations for several paragraphs of information.

Further Suggestions and Comments: I think that this is a very well written article draft as it accurately and effectively describes the topic and certain subsections in an objective manner, and the language is descriptive yet not pedantic.NihalVela (talk) 03:29, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
