Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of tight oil reservoirs and other unconventional resources has been attracting increasing attention. Recently, there has been a rising number of works showcasing new and advanced technologies in tight oil research, including seepage law, Interfacial phenomena, production mechanisms, new chemical agent development, and methods to simulate multiphase flow in porous media based on laboratory work and reservoir simulation.
This Special Issue on “Advanced Technology in Unconventional Resource Development” seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest methodological and technological advances in the development of tight oil and other unconventional resources. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced methods in characterizing tight oil reservoirs;
- Multiphase flow in tight oil reservoirs;
- EOR methods in tight oil reservoir development;
- Machine learning or big data application in tight oil reservoir development.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
