The authors carry out visualization of the scientific field "Oil and petroleum products in soil and groundwater" using CiteSpace software. Documents co-citation analysis with the CiteSpace revealed main research fronts: biotransformation, biodegradation of oil and oil products in the studied media, bioremediation of these media, new research trend related to unconventional methods of oil production. The CiteSpace also lets to identify within the document co-citation network prominent cited publications (according co-citation frequency, betweenness centrality, and the strength of citation bursts). The most prominent research direction-bioremediation-is identified.
