Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit articles across the broad topic of modern trends in the petroleum industry to be published in this Special Issue of Energies. We also welcome critical review articles from renowned experts in the industry and academia. Issues of energy efficiency and environmental safety of various operations in the petroleum industry will be considered, from well construction to hydrocarbon refining.
Nowadays, there is a global trend towards “green” industry, which implies the reduction of carbon emissions from various industrial processes. In this regard, power generation is seen as one of the key contributors to the greenhouse effect. Renewable energy is considered to be the main mode of transition to a carbon neutral economy. Although the share of renewables in the global power generation has steadily increased since the beginning of the century, it has accounted only for 13% in 2021. Thus, oil and gas are still the major resources for energy production. Until the renewable energy is able to cope with such problems as the efficient generation and storage of produced energy, oil and gas will provide a steady power supply for consumers. As the sustainable development of modern society is impossible without reliable energy sources, hydrocarbons will be essential for the world energy market for years to come.
At the same time, traditional petroleum fields are being depleted. New deposits of oil and gas are located in remote and hard-to-reach regions, such as the Arctic, with complex geological and rock characteristics. In addition to complicated conditions of petroleum production in these areas, environmental concerns are of great importance. An urgent trend is the reduction of carbon footprint in oil and gas production. In this regard, this Special Issue of Energies “Modern trends in oil and gas industry” will discuss the problems of modern techniques and approaches to the production and use of hydrocarbons.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Construction of various-type wells (oil, gas, injection, petrothermal, etc.);
- Well completion;
- Well repair;
- Formation stimulation;
- Field development
- Unconventional oil and gas reserves;
- Low-permeable reservoirs;
- Gas hydrates;
- Well and reservoir surveys;
- Petroleum production;
- Improved and enhanced oil recovery;
- Treatment of oil and gas;
- Associated petroleum gas;
- Petroleum processing;
- Transportation and storage of the crude;
- Underground gas storage;
- Power supply of oil and gas fields;
- Automation and digitalizing of petroleum operations;
- Optimization of energy consumption in petroleum industry;
- Environmental safety of oil and gas operations;
- Carbon capture, utilization and storage;
- Carbon footprint of petroleum production;
- Energy efficiency of oil and gas operations.
