Oil, Gas and Water Separation Research

Dear Colleagues,

Separation technology plays an important part in the fields of oil and gas development through the ages. With continuous development, the requirements of separation efficiency, energy saving, emission reduction, and other indicators are increasing, and separation technology requires more research and innovation. Various types of separation techniques, such as filtration, sedimentation, centrifugation, coalescence, flocculation, flotation, membrane, absorption, electrochemical, etc., have made substantial progress. However, the practicality and reliability of newly developed separation methods, materials, chemicals, and equipment need be further evaluated. Hence, this Special Issue is mainly dedicated to the dissemination of innovative theories and methods for separation, which includes but is not limited to the separation of oil, gas and water in surface pipeline systems and wellbores, as well as carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS).
