Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of unconventional oil and gas resources has increased in natural gas and oil production worldwide in recent decades. The science and technology involved in the development of unconventional oil and gas resources not only play indispensable roles in petroleum engineering but are also crucial for various areas such as geological carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), hydrology, geothermal energy production, and so on.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New methods to test and characterize properties of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs;
- Hydraulic fracturing of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs;
- Effective techniques to enhance recovery of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs;
- Artificial intelligence in unconventional oil and gas development;
- New science and technology involve in unconventional oil and gas development;
- Developmental technologies for new energy resources (e.g., hydrogen energy and gas hydrate);
- Carbon-reducing technologies (e.g., CCUS) in unconventional oil and gas development.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
