Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
For this Special Issue, we seek papers contributing to the survey, exploration and exploitation of natural gas hydrates, appropriate topics including the field, experimental, or computational-based approaches.
The Guest Editor invites submissions to a Special Issue of Energies regarding the subject area of “Burial Characteristics and Exploitation of Natural Gas Hydrate”. Gas hydrate is a potential energy resource possibly able to enhance climate change and trigger a submarine geohazard, its inventory capable of being 1-7000 × 1015 m3 methane, most located in the continental slopes and less than 10% in the permafrost region. A popular topic for more than two decades, several field trails have been conducted in both the permafrost and slopes.
This Special Issue will focus on the burial characteristics of hydrates in reservoirs, as well as the advances and challenges of their exploitation, topics of interest for publication including, but not limited to:
- Burial of sediments and organic matter;
- Degradation of organic matter;
- Methane production and consumption;
- Characteristics of the reservoir, deposits and sediments;
- Rock–water interaction;
- Biogeochemical reaction and authigenic minerals;
- Bottom-simulating reflector (BSR);
- Gas, water and sand production;
- Depressurization;
- Thermal stimulation;
- CO2 injection;
- N2 injection;
- Instability of the reservoir;
- Experimental and numerical simulations.

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.
