Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our upcoming Special Issue on "Digitization and Low Carbon Transformation of Petroleum Engineering". The petroleum industry, a longstanding pillar of global energy supply, is currently navigating significant challenges, particularly the need for more sustainable practices and a reduction in carbon emissions. Digitization offers transformative potential to improve operational efficiency, lower costs, and reduce environmental impact. This Special Issue aims to explore innovative solutions in digital technologies and low-carbon strategies that can drive the industry toward a more sustainable and resilient future.
The goal of this Special Issue is to showcase cutting-edge research focused on advancing both digitization and low-carbon approaches in petroleum engineering. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Digitalization and intelligent technologies for mature oil and gas fields;
- Digitalization and intelligent technologies for unconventional oil and gas fields;
- Low-carbon and efficient development technologies for mature oil and gas fields;
- Low-carbon and efficient development technologies for unconventional oil and gas fields;
- CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage) technologies for oil and gas fields;
- Intelligent and low-carbon enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
