Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a natural energy resource with huge reserves, natural gas hydrate (NGH) is considered a future alternative energy source. Countries such as Canada, Japan, the United States and China have successfully conducted NGH pilot production. The results show that the extraction of natural gas hydrate resources is technically feasible. However, the gas production rate has not reached the threshold of commercial extraction, and the safety of long-term production has not been verified. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel approaches for the efficient extraction of NGH. In addition, the cost for NGH management in conventional oil and gas production is a heavy burden for the industries. It is necessary to develop novel approaches for NGH management. The study of novel technologies based on the unique characteristics of NGH is also a promising field.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, experiment, modelling, and application of all types of novel approaches for NGH.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- NGH exploration;
- NGH drilling;
- NGH well completion;
- NGH extraction simulation;
- NGH management in flow assurance;
- Novel technologies based on NGH;
- CCS related to NGH;
- Fundamentals of NGH.

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.
