Summary

Further advancements in the exploitation of unconventional resources, such as tight gas, shale gas, shale oil, coalbed methane, and natural gas hydrate, are intimately connected to the investigation of related fluid-dynamics and thermal aspects. Especially in some complex engineering technologies, multi-phase and different flow-driving processes are involved at the same time. Studying these coupled behaviors together with heat and mass transfers is of great significance for improving the efficiency of unconventional resource development.

 

This special issue considers new theoretical and technological achievements in the development of unconventional 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:

 

• Fluid-structure interaction in well drilling and hydraulic fracturing

• Multi-phase flow in hydraulic fractures and unconventional reservoirs

• Experimental study on multi-field and multi-phase processes

• Reservoir simulation and numerical modelling

• Fluid flow behaviors during drilling, production, and injection

• Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) with emphasis on related fluid dynamic aspects

• Mechanisms of fluid flow in porous media with water-rock interaction

• Heat and mass transfer phenomena during unconventional resources development
