Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to share the success of our Special Issue "Unconventional Oil and Gas: Reservoir Evaluation and Accumulation Mechanism Research" https://www.mdpi.com/journal/energies/special_issues/4D2808X272.
We are now preparing to launch the second volume of this Special Issue, and are pleased to invite you to submit papers to Energies for a Special Issue that will be entirely devoted to “Unconventional Oil and Gas: Reservoir Evaluation and Accumulation Mechanism Research—2nd Edition”.
The Special Issue will expand on reservoir characterization technology, the formation mechanism of high-quality reservoirs, and the accumulation mechanism of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs for improving understandings of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. This collection of works will serve as an excellent platform for sharing information and findings collected from different studies.
In the last few decades, unconventional resources have attracted significant attention from the petroleum industry, and unconventional oil and gas resources have evolved into an important resource worldwide. The potential for unconventional oil and gas exploration is huge and has broad implications. Although extensive studies have been conducted on unconventional oil and gas reservoirs in recent years, the formation mechanism of high-quality reservoirs and the accumulation mechanism of unconventional oil and gas are still unclear.
Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel technologies to characterize shale/tight reservoir pore structure;
- Organic–inorganic interaction in shale diagenesis;
- The formation mechanism of high-quality reservoirs;
- Advanced methods for shale oil mobility evaluation;
- Mechanisms of accumulation of shale/tight oil.

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.
