Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Unprecedented rapid globalization has accelerated the need for petroleum and gas, and it has become more difficult to recover enough oil and gas without advanced petroleum and gas exploration technology. Low- to medium-maturity shale oil is a promising alternative energy, and in situ conversion methods using catalysts or high-temperature fluids have been proved to be particualry promising measures; therefore, novel nanomaterials are urgently needed. Drilling causes serious formation damage when suitable pretreatment is not employed. To maintain stable oil and gas production, efficient formation protection measures must be taken, and novel technology and agents in this area are crucial safeguards.

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.
