Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Greetings from the Guest Editor of the Special Issue of Energies on Energy Geomechanics.
We cordially invite you to submit your high-quality manuscripts to the Special Issue of Energies on Energy Geomechanics. This Special Issue focuses on rock mechanical aspects of energy engineering, encompassing petroleum engineering and alternative energy sources, such as geothermal, hydrogen, and nuclear energy.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the geomechanical aspects of:
- conventional and unconventional petroleum wellbores from wellbore construction to abandonment;
- conventional and unconventional petroleum reservoirs and surrounding strata during the hydrocarbon production;
- subsurface disposal of liquid waste and brine;
- CO2 sequestration;
- underground storage of energy, including hydrogen, synthetic methane, heat, compressed air, and natural gas;
- near-surface and deep geothermal energy production;
- nuclear waste management.
The manuscript may be a review paper or may be based on applied and fundamental studies using physical model testing, mathematical modelling, or field case studies.
We look forward to receiving your manuscripts for this Special Issue.

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.
