Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, oil, gas and geothermal reservoirs have gradually become the most important geological energy sources in the world. In order to expand oil and gas reserves, exploration experts have adopted novel cutting-edge technologies, such as a new method for logging the evaluation of key parameters of continental shale oil reservoirs, and the theory of large-scale oil and gas accumulation in deep glutenite. In order to further expand the sweep coefficient of the reservoir displacement agent, researchers have developed a multiscale environmentally friendly profile control agent. Researchers have also used nanomaterials, greenhouse gases such as CO2, etc., to further exploit the remaining oil in the formation. Geothermal energy is an environmentally friendly energy source, and improving its thermal energy utilization rate has been a hot topic in recent years.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the new advances in oil, gas and geothermal reservoirs.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- New technologies of drilling and production in tight oil and gas reservoirs;
- New technologies for drilling and production of shale oil and gas reservoirs;
- New technologies of drilling and production in carbonate reservoirs;
- New technologies for drilling and production of fractured-cavity oil and gas reservoirs;
- New technologies for natural gas hydrate drilling and production;
- New technologies for drilling and production of geothermal resources;
- New low-energy mining technology.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
