Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The offshore oil and gas industry remains a cornerstone of global energy production, with continuous advancements in drilling equipment and technology driven by increasing demands for efficiency, safety, and sustainability. This Special Issue aims to present the latest research and developments in offshore drilling, covering innovative drilling systems, advanced equipment design, operational optimization, and environmental impact mitigation. Additionally, we highlight the emerging role of intelligent technologies, such as smart sensing and integrity management, in enhancing operational reliability and efficiency. We invite submissions of original research articles, review papers, and case studies that address both established and emerging challenges in offshore drilling, with a focus on practical applications and future directions.
