Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will focus on chemical engineering impact on and contribution to modern drilling engineering, exploring all aspects of well construction, drilling process, drilling fluids, and so on. Novel materials that have been developed through chemistry have allowed the advancement of drilling technology and techniques. As such, this Special Issue will feature a collection of the latest achievements of chemical engineering that have highly contributed to drilling engineering. We welcome articles that will provide data and case studies to accomplish our goal. Papers showing high-quality experimental results that demonstrate how chemistry can improve drilling engineering are very welcome. Topics such as advanced drilling and stimulation fluid formulations and their benefits toward improving drilling activities are of main interest but are not exclusive subjects. Applications under extreme conditions of chemical achievements for oil and gas and geothermal applications will also find their place within this Special Issue.

Prof. Dr. Catalin Teodoriu
Guest Editor

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. ChemEngineering 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 1600 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.

This paper provides an integrated overview of the water shutoff operations, starting from the causes to the solutions. The paper begins with explaining the benefits of eliminating excessive water production. Then, the different types of water production and their properties are explained. The paper also focuses in reviewing the disadvantages of producing unwanted water as well as the sources of it, followed by an explanation of the methodology for identifying the problem. Then, the chemical solutions for water shutoff are reviewed which are generally applied to solve the excessive unwanted water production in the reservoir or near the wellbore area. Finally, the paper illustrates the common mechanical solutions for water shutoff within the wellbore. The aim behind this paper is to provide a general description of identifying the unwanted water production sources and the common practices for water shutoff operations. Full article
