Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oil and gas energy has shaped our society, culture and profoundly affects economics as well as political aspects. The exploration of deep, unconventional oil and gas resources has become the main arena in the current energy industry, which has promoted the rapid improvement and development of drilling technology. Extensive research on the integrated automatic drilling rig, drilling tools, well logging, measurement while drilling, drilling and completion fluid, and enhanced recovery strategy et al, sheds light on addressing the problem that refers to drilling in extreme conditions and drives another booming fossil fuel era.
This Special Issue aims to present the most recent advances related to the oil and gas drilling technologies of all types of equipment, tools, materials, theories, software, and methods.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Drilling rig and tools;
- Drilling and completion fluid;
- Geomechanics in drilling;
- Drilling hydraulics;
- Nanomaterial application in oil and gas industry;
- Well logging, testing and evaluation;
- Well completion methods and materials;
- Application of artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analytics in oil and gas drilling.
