Summary
Fluid mechanics plays an inestimable role in the process of oil and gas exploitation and transportation, the oil and gas well fluid mechanics is the most important framework of various oil and gas drilling and production techniques. The development of oil and gas well fluid mechanics plays an indispensable role in the oil and gas industry, and it is also crucial for the exploration and development of geothermal, combustible ice, coalbed methane and solid mineral resources. This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theories, methods, technologies, and materials in oil and gas well engineering fluid mechanics. Topics of interest for this publication include, but are not limited to:
(1) All aspects of the fluid mechanics and dynamics related to the oil and gas well engineering.
(2) The fluid mechanics and dynamics of well drilling, cementing, completion, testing, logging and reservoir reconstruction technologies in conventional oil and gas, deep or deep-water oil and gas, and unconventional oil and gas wells, as well as geothermal resources, etc.
(3) The application of new materials (graphene, etc.) in oil and gas well fluid.
(4) The fluid mechanics and dynamics of carbon-reducing technologies (CCS, CCUS, etc.) in oil and gas well engineering in the context of carbon-neutral and carbon-peak technologies.
(5) The fluid mechanics and dynamics of developmental technologies of new energy resources (hydrogen energy, etc.).
(6) Oil and gas percolation mechanics, wellbore hydrodynamics, etc.
Keywords
