Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Greetings from the Guest Editors of the Energies Special Issue, “Advanced Coal, Petroleum, and Natural Gas Exploration Technology, 3rd Edition”. This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issue, "Advanced Coal, Petroleum, and Natural Gas Exploration Technology” and its sequel (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/energies/special_issues/exploration_technology).

We cordially invite you to submit high-quality manuscripts to our Special Issue of Energies, “Advanced Coal, Petroleum, and Natural Gas Exploration Technology”. This Special Issue will cover a broad range of topics related to coal, petroleum, natural gas, coalbed methane, shale oil, combustible ice, and other fossil energy sources. Possible topics include exploration, reservoir characterization, machine learning applications, well logging, and geological aspects, and we invite you to approach these topics from both an exploration and production standpoint. We invite papers on innovative technical developments, reviews, case studies, and analytical and assessment papers from across different disciplines that are relevant to our topic.

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.

The Fushan Depression is a hydrocarbon-rich depression in the Beibuwan Basin, South China Sea. In this study, 14 source rocks and 19 crude oils from the Chaoyang Step-Fault Zone and Southern Slope Zone were geochemically analyzed to determine their origins. The hydrocarbon generation, migration, and accumulation processes were also determined using two-dimensional basin modeling. Crude oils from the low-step area show a close relationship with the source rocks of the first and second members of the Eocene Liushagang Formation (Els1 and Els2). The oils from the middle-step area and the Southern Slope Zone are derived from the local source rocks in those areas, in the third member of the Eocene Liushagang Formation (Els3). Hydrocarbons generated from the Els3 source rocks of the Southern Slope Zone migrated along sand bodies to the Els3 reservoir. The fault system of the Chaoyang Step-Fault Zone controls hydrocarbon migration and accumulation in the low-step and middle-step areas. The resource potential of the middle-step area is limited by its shallow burial depth. The low-step area is a more favorable exploration area due to its proximity to the source kitchen. Full article
