Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Shale gas has been commercially developed in many countries. Due to the high cost of shale gas development, enhanced recovery and EUR have became key engineering and scientific issues. The pore development characteristics and gas bearing properties of shale are key basic parameters for evaluating reservoir characteristics and optimizing development mode. In recent years, some important progress has been made in the field of shale gas adsorption and porosity characterization, which is of great significance for improving the accuracy of shale gas reservoir evaluation and further enhancing the recovery of shale gas.
We invite investigators to submit original research articles, case studies, and review papers to address the most significant challenges and advances in gas adsorption and porosity for the enhanced recovery of shale gas. This Special Issue will compile characterization data and applications of modern methods and techniques to model gas adsorption and porosity development processes relevant to 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. 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.
