Recent Advances in Petroleum Drilling Engineering
This special issue belongs to the section "H: Geo-Energy".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the oil industry moves into more technically and economically challenging environments, companies have increasingly come under pressure to stretch the technology and to improve drilling performance. The quest for technologies to increase drilling efficiency and reduce the drilling cost has resulted in many new developments and original contributions to the state-of-the-art in drilling engineering over the past decade.
This Special Issue aims to collect original research or review articles on recent advances in every aspect of oil and gas well drilling engineering. In particular, papers related to drilling automation, automated real-time drilling modeling and data analysis, new developments in horizontal, extended reach and multilateral drilling, novel drilling fluids, advancement in drilling bit technologies, developments in drilling mechanics and tubular design, digital well planning, well construction and life cycle well integrity, advances in drilling hydraulics, UBD and MPD, and well control technologies will be considered.

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.
