Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With ChatGPT dominating the media and sparking a new revolution in IT at the moment, how can the petroleum geoscience community catch up with the fast-paced IT industry? One way is to shift towards more quantitative and computer-modeling-oriented methods. Basin and petroleum system modeling (BPSM) started half a century ago when the computing capacity was no more than a fraction of our smart phone. It has now become a billion-dollar business globally. However, with petroleum exploration going to ultra-deep and super-complex parts of basins and with the emergence of shale oil and gas and carbon capture and storage (CCS), new developments and workflows in BPSM have sprouted rapidly. This Special Issue is focused on, but not limited to, innovative development and applications of integrated BPSM in exploring hydrocarbons in areas under extremely harsh conditions and unconventional places including ultra-deep reservoirs and shale oil, as well as site selection and screening for gas and CCS.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
