Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the use of oil and gas as commercial energy sources, the oil and gas industries have become crucial in not only the producing countries but also the consuming countries as oil and gas are the main sources of energy around the world. These industries not only produce the fuels necessary for air, space, land, and maritime transportation but also are used in other very complex but related industries such as the petrochemical industry. This industrial complexity is accompanied by many technological challenges in the quality assurance operations and processes. Alongside the production of high-commercial-interest products, large quantities of waste of all kinds—solid, liquid, and gaseous—at different concentrations are also generated, which must be managed and treated appropriately in order to reduce the environmental impact they could cause by as much as possible. Moreover, in recent years, with climate change, the greenhouse effect, and the need to operate within a circular economy, the generated waste has been used and transformed into by-products to produce other products with high added value, thus closing the economic cycle of this industrial process. In response to these urgent needs, Koya University in Iraq is holding its "3rd International Conference on Petroleum: Waste Management in Oil and Gas Industry, April 28-30, 2024".
This Special Issue intends to disseminate the research presented at this conference, which will address the latest developments in the state of the art in this field. Although the target audience of this Special Issue will primarily be the conference participants, some of whom the authors will invite to publish their manuscripts in this Special Issue, this Special Issue is open to all authors in this field

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
