Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oil and gas resources are important pillars for the sustainable development of human society and its economy. Marine and deep strata contain abundant oil and gas resources, and much oil and gas reserves in marine and deep strata have been newly discovered in recent years. With the rapid development of the global economy's energy demand, oil and gas development is accelerating its pace towards marine and deep strata. However, the environment and formation conditions in marine and deep strata are complex, and along with many unknown factors, pose significant challenges in the development of oil and gas resources. Specific directions include efficient drilling, pressure control, flow assurance, efficient production increase, intelligence development, and environmental safety. The lack of oil and gas development technology in marine and deep strata is an important factor limiting a country's economic development, especially in countries with limited oil and gas resources. Therefore, it is necessary to establish safe and efficient oil and gas development technologies for marine and deep strata to provide support for sustainable global economic development and energy security.
This Special Issue explores oil and gas development technologies in marine and deep strata, with a focus on the roles of new theories, advanced methods, important technology, classic cases, and policy recommendations. This Special Issue calls for active submissions from researchers in different disciplines, providing valuable guidance for the safe and efficient development of marine and deep strata oil and gas.

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. Sustainability 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 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.
