Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am excited to share with you information about a Special Issue on “Reservoir Characterization and Modeling in Hydrocarbon Exploration and Development”. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and industry professionals to exchange knowledge and expertise in the area of reservoir characterization and modeling.
Reservoir characterization and modeling is a crucial step in the hydrocarbon exploration and development process. It involves the acquisition, integration, and analysis of various types of data to build a comprehensive understanding of a reservoir and its properties. Accurate reservoir characterization and modeling can lead to improved reservoir performance, and ultimately, better economic outcomes.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, review articles, and case studies related to reservoir characterization and modeling. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Geological modeling;
- Geophysical characterization;
- Petrophysical properties and analysis;
- Reservoir simulation and modeling;
- Uncertainty and risk analysis;
- Enhanced oil recovery methods.
I encourage you to submit your work to this Special Issue and contribute to the advancement of the field. The deadline for submissions is 21 July 2024, and all submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process. Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your contributions.
Dr. Mohamed I. Abdel-Fattah
Guest Editor
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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
