Summary
Unconventional oil and gas reservoirs (such as shale, tight sandstone, tight carbonate and natural gas hydrate) have the remarkable characteristics of low porosity, low permeability, low oil and gas recoveries. During the the development of unconventional reservoirs, many processes may impact their recovery efficiency significantly, such as geological exploration, well drilling, well completion, hydraulic fracturing, production and transportation processes. Conducting theoretical, experimental, numerical simulation and field application researches on different or interrelated processes of unconventional reservoir development is of great significance for improving the recovery of unconventional reservoirs.
This special issue considers new theoretical and technological achievements in the development of unconventional oil and gas resources. Its main goal is the provision of a high-level platform for sharing innovations and insights into this field.
We welcome all types of manuscripts, including original research articles, review articles, and perspectives. With respect to the above topics, original contributions are solicited from researchers in academia as well as industry working in areas including, but not limited to:
• Progress in enhanced oil and gas recovery technologies for unconventional reservoirs
• Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) in the development of unconventional reservoirs
• Research on high-quality and efficient drilling and completion technology in complex formations
• Optimization of fracturing parameters and fracture network pattern
• Research on the synthesis and evaluation of working fluids in the development of unconventional reservoirs
• Reservoir simulation and numerical modelling
• Experimental and numerical simulation studies on multi-field and multi-phase processes
