Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
I would like to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Energies on “The Technology of Oil and Gas Production with Low Energy Consumption”.
With the exhaustion of conventional and shallow oil and gas, more attention is being paid to deep and ultra-deep, shale oil and gas, tight gas and high water contained oilfields. However, these reservoirs are characterized by a low transport ability and their exploitations usually consume a high amount of energy. Besides this, oil and gas exploitation is a significant resource in carbon emissions and takes a dominant role in the goal of achieving net zero emissions. Many efforts—field practice, laboratory testing and theoretical research—have been made in the last decade to achieve the above goal of sustainable exploitation and emission reduction. This Special Issue will draw upon recent advances to characterize the state of the art and to help to chart a course for future research activities. Both research articles and reviews are welcomed to this issue. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
Innovations in drilling technology;
Advances in coupling theory in deep/ultra-deep gas/oil reservoir;
Advances in modeling and simulation methods;
Advances in coupling theory in unconventional gas/oil reservoir;
Innovations in crude oil recovery methods;
Novel fracturing technology;
Innovations in carbon capture, utilization and storage technology;
Innovations in underground gas/oil storage;
Exploitation-induced geological hazard;
Innovations in exploitation management;
Innovations in oil/gas transport technology;
Efficient artificial lift with low energy consumption;
EOR methods with low energy consumption;
Efficient development of deep/ultra-deep gas/oil reservoir.

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.
