Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tight reservoirs refer to unconventional oil and gas reservoirs with low permeability, such as shale gas and tight oil formations. These reservoirs pose significant challenges for exploration and production due to their complex geological and fluid flow characteristics. In recent years, there have been remarkable advances in the field of experimental and numerical simulation techniques for characterizing and simulating flow in tight reservoirs. This Special Issue aims to broadcast the latest achievements in this field. Relevant original research articles and review articles are welcomed.
Topics of particular interest include (but are not limited to):
- Development of new characterization techniques and analysis methods of tight reservoir from the micro scale to the representative element volume (REV) scale;
- Advances in experimental approaches for monitoring/measuring flow in tight porous media;
- Construction of numerical simulation models for oil/gas flow at various spatial and temporal scales;
- Application of new techniques and methods on tight reservoir characterization and oil/gas flow investigation.

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.
