Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, oil, gas and geothermal reservoirs have become the most important geological energy sources in the world. In order to expand oil and gas reserves, experts in this field have adopted cutting-edge approaches, such as a new methods for evaluating the 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 reservoir displacement agents, researchers have developed a multiscale, environmentally friendly profile control agent. Researchers have also used various methods, including nanomaterials and greenhouse gases such as CO2, to further exploit the remaining oil in formations. Geothermal energy is an environmentally friendly energy source, and improving its utilization rate has been a popular topic in recent years.
This Special Issue aims to disseminate the most recent advances in research on oil, gas and geothermal reservoirs.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New technologies for drilling and production in tight oil and gas reservoirs;
- New technologies for drilling and production in shale oil and gas reservoirs;
- New technologies for drilling and production in carbonate reservoirs;
- New technologies for drilling and production in 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.
