Deep Energy Exploitation : Latest Advances and Prospects of Geotechnical Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

With the increasing demand for energy and the increase of exploitation intensity, the exploration and development of deep energy has become a hot issue of concern to the world. However, as the mining depth increases, the complicated geological conditions make it more and more difficulties for the engineering reconstruction, which poses a great threat to the efficient development of deep energy.

This Special Issue will collect original research or review articles on the recent development of geotechnical engineering in deep energy exploitation. The preferred subjects for the Special Issue include latest development of design theories and geotechnical technologies related to deep energy exploitation, such as drilling, reservoir stimulation, geology-engineering integration, and other relevant theories and engineering technologies. All of the theoretical, numerical, experimental, and field studies 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-anonymized 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.
