Advanced Sandbody Architecture Interpretation and Modeling Technology & Application in Geo Energy Area

Dear colleagues,

With the continuous development of oil and gas fields, the water cut increases gradually. The focus of oil and gas exploration and development is how to find remaining oil and further enhance oil recovery. The study of sand body architecture plays an important role in controlling the distribution of remaining oil in the reservoir at the later stage of oil and gas field development.

Experts from all over the world have conducted a great deal of research on the architecture interpretation of different types of sediment, and have also achieved rich research results. This is mainly reflected in the construction of architecture models of different sedimentary types, the architecture interpretation of alluvial fans, deep-water gravity flow and other sedimentary bodies, and the acquisition and processing of outcrop digital data based on UAV tilt photography. With the rise of artificial intelligence, big data and other fields, more advanced methods and means have been applied to reservoir architecture interpretation and modelling.

This Special Issue aims to collate articles relating to architecture interpretation based on logging and seismic data, AI architecture prediction, multipoint geostatistical architecture modelling, interpretation of outcrop architecture, architecture characteristics of modern sediment, and architecture mode. Original research and review articles are welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
