Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Unconventional oil and gas played important roles in the energy industry for many decades. Due to the low-permeability characteristics of unconventional reservoirs, challenges related to the development of unconventional oil and gas have appeared in various academic and technical domains such as geology, geophysics, geochemistry, geomechanics, mechanics of string and tubing, and reservoir stimulation, etc. Many research achievements have been obtained in solving the aforementioned problems as technologies are developed accordingly. Still, there are many other problems existing in the current industrial and academic domains related to the development of unconventional oil and gas. This Special Issue provides a platform for the exchange and exhibition of achievements related to unconventional oil and gas.
The following topics are of major interests for this Special Issue:
- Geology and sweet spots;
- Hydraulic fracturing;
- Geophysics;
- Geomechanics;
- Geochemistry;
- Mechanics of string and tubing;
- Cases of best practice of various technical applications.
Solutions and research results achieved by either experimental or numerical as well as analytical and empirical methods are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Xinpu Shen
Guest Editor
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.
