Artificial Intelligent Techniques in the Optimal Operation of Oil and Gas Production Systems

Dear Colleagues,

In the later stages of gas well production, liquid loading is a crucial problem in terms of reducing gas production. Thus, we focus on methods of liquid unloading in gas wells that can promote the development of liquid unloading technology. Artificial intelligence is also widely used in petroleum engineering, especially in the oil and gas production stages. Researchers can also share new findings in this Special Issue.

The topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Liquid unloading in gas wells;
• Multiphase flow in wellbores;
• New methods or technologies for artificial lifts;
• Artificial intelligence in the oil and gas production stages;
• New methods to enhance oil and gas production.

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. Processes 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 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.
