New Advances in Oil, Gas and Geothermal Reservoirs: 3rd Edition

The global energy landscape is undergoing a profound transformation as conventional oilfields face declining productivity and unconventional reservoirs-such as tight oil, shale gas, and heavy oil-demand advanced recovery technologies. This Special Issue, "New Advances in Oil, Gas and Geothermal Reservoirs-3rd Edition," presents cutting-edge research addressing three critical areas: the optimization of mature and unconventional reservoir development, the integration of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) in oil and gas field management, and innovations in natural gas storage, transportation, and sequestration. The collected studies employ state-of-the-art numerical modeling, experimental methods, and data-driven approaches to tackle challenges such as improving waterflood efficiency in complex reservoirs, enhancing heavy-oil thermal recovery, and ensuring safe underground gas storage. By combining detailed geological characterization with AI-assisted decision-making, this issue provides a comprehensive foundation for the sustainable and efficient exploitation of geo-energy resources, supporting the global transition toward cleaner and more resilient energy systems.
