Multiscale Petrophysics Characterization and Multiphase Flow in Unconventional Reservoirs

Dear Colleagues,

Petrophysics in unconventional reservoirs, especially multiscale characterization and multiphase flow modeling, are relevant to multi-disciplinary porous media research (e.g., hydrocarbon extraction, environmental issues, hydrology). Reliable characterization at different scales, advances in theoretical modeling and numerical methods of multiphase flow are crucial for many applications, including studies of residual oil in hydrocarbon reservoirs and long-term storage of supercritical CO₂ in geological formations.

We invite investigators to submit original research articles, case studies, and review papers to address the most significant challenges in multiscale petrophysics characterization and multiphase flow in unconventional reservoirs. This Special Issue will compile descriptions and applications of modern methods and techniques to model petrophysical processes relevant to unconventional reservoirs.

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.
