Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The economic, environmental, and societal environments of the oil and gas industry are becoming increasingly challenging. This translates into increased pressure on the well creation process, and the corresponding efficiency requirements are expected to be stronger and stronger in the future. In order to meet those requirements, significant gains in performance, safety, and reliability need to be achieved by the drilling community. Technology is the core component of the necessary transformation our industry goes through, and one can expect the emergence of new and innovative solutions in the near future. New technologies typically materialize through the combination of deeper understanding of the physical process, improved sensing capabilities, digitalization of the environment, advanced control techniques, and automation solutions.
This Special Issue welcomes original contributions within innovative drilling technologies, covering the entire well creat process. In particular, recent developments in drilling modeling, drilling sensors, drilling fluid design, bit technology, drilling process control and automation, or cementing are of special interest, but the Special Issue is not limited to those topics.

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).
