Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy and fuel are important supports for the modern economy, representing an important foundation for the survival and development of human society and playing an indispensable role in promoting economic and social development. However, energy consumption has increased substantially, and traditional energy resources have been declining. At present, the contradiction between the increasing shortage of traditional petrochemical energy and the strong demand for energy from economic development is acute. Therefore, unconventional energy such as shale gas, shale oil, and coalbed methane are important parts of realizing a modern multi-energy system with huge reserves. To further explore new theories and methods for the efficient exploration and development of shale gas, shale oil, and coalbed methane, this Special Issue will showcase the latest research to assist in the exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas resources.
This Special Issue, entitled “Shale Gas and Coalbed Methane Exploration and Practice”, aims to cover novel advances in the above research topic.
Suitable topics include but are not limited to:
- Shale gas exploration and development;
- Coalbed methane exploration and development;
- Shale oil exploration and development;
- Microseismic monitoring;
- Drilling fluid, completion fluid, fracturing fluid;
- Hydraulic fracturing;
- Theory and methods about wellbore stability;
- Unconventional oil and gas development driven by artificial intelligence.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
