Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Given the continuous increase in global energy demands and the many uncertainties surrounding energy supply, unconventional resources will continue to play a crucial role during the energy transition process. One should pay special attention not only to the stability and availability of unconventional resources but also to the development of transformational technologies for unconventional resource systems that will contribute to oil and gas development. 

Considering all the above, we propose a Special Issue with the title “Coal, Oil and Gas: Latest Advances and Prospects”. This Special Issue will primarily cover papers in coal, oil, and gas extraction while highlighting theoretical, technological, and practical developments and improvements in the literature in these areas. We welcome manuscripts at subnational, national, or international levels, as well as those from legal, ethical, and social aspects. No methodology constraints will be applied. Innovative technologies and methods are especially encouraged.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The evaluation of the CBM/shale oil/shale gas reservoir;
  • CBM/shale oil/shale gas geological engineering integrated evaluation;
  • Distribution, mode of occurrence, and enrichment mechanisms of critical metals in coal and coal-bearing sequences;
  • Theories and techniques for the sustained exploitation of CBM/shale oil/shale gas;
  • Case studies of CBM/shale oil/shale gas reservoirs.

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.

The storage potential of hydrocarbon reservoirs in the central Gulf of Mexico (GOM) makes future development of CO2 storage projects in those areas promising for secure, large-scale, and long-term storage purposes. Focusing on the producing and depleted hydrocarbon fields in the continental slope of the central GOM, this paper analyzed, assessed, and screened the producing sands and evaluated their CO2 storage potential. A live interactive CO2 storage site screening system was built in the SAS® Viya system with a broad range of screening criteria combined from published studies. This offers the users a real-time assessment of the storage sites and enables them to adjust the filters and visualize the results to determine the most suitable filter range. The CO2 storage resources of the sands were estimated using a volumetric equation and the correlation developed by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). The results of this study indicate that 1.05 gigatons of CO2 storage resources are available in the developed reservoirs at the upper slope area of the central GOM. The Mississippi Canyon and Green Canyon protraction areas contain the fields with the largest storage resources. Full article
