Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Given the continuous increase in global energy demand and the many uncertainties of energy supply ahead, unconventional resources will continue to play a crucial role during the energy transition process. One should pay special attention not only to the stability and availability of unconventional resources, but also to the development of transformational technologies for unconventional resources systems that will contribute to oil and gas development.
Considering all the above, we are pleased to propose a Special Issue with the title of “Oil and Gas Reservoir Stimulation Theory and Technology”. This Special Issue will primarily cover oil and gas extraction (e.g., tight/shale oil and gas), while highlighting theoretical, technological, and practical development and improvement in the literature of these areas. We welcome manuscripts at subnational, national, or international levels, as well as those from legal, ethical, and social aspects. No methodology constraints will be applied. Innovative technologies and methods are especially encouraged.
Suitable topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Tight/shale oil exploration and development;
- Tight/shale gas exploration and development;
- Oil shale exploitation;
- CO2 enhanced oil/gas technologies;
- Underground coal gasification;
- Numerical simulation for oil and gas;
- Underground fluid flow modeling in porous media;
- Some other related topics in unconventional resources engineering.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
