Journal of Subsurface Energy, Fluids, and Environmental Systems

About Journal

The Journal of Subsurface Energy, Fluids, and Environmental Systems provides a platform for research that advances understanding of energy resources, fluid dynamics, and environmental processes within subsurface systems. The journal highlights interdisciplinary work that addresses exploration, extraction, storage, and management of subsurface resources while emphasising environmental responsibility and sustainability.

Subsurface systems play a central role in meeting global energy needs and in addressing environmental challenges. From geothermal energy and groundwater management to hydrocarbon reservoirs and carbon storage, the field demands continuous research that links engineering, geology, hydrology, and environmental sciences. This journal supports contributions that integrate theoretical models, experimental research, and applied practices to improve both efficiency and sustainability.

We invite original work in areas such as reservoir characterisation, fluid flow modelling, energy transition technologies, environmental impact studies, and integrated resource management. Submissions may focus on energy recovery, groundwater dynamics, fluid mechanics, remediation, or subsurface monitoring systems.

Areas of focus include, but are not limited to:

• Reservoir engineering and characterisation
• Multiphase flow in porous media
• Subsurface geophysics and imaging techniques
• Hydrocarbon recovery and enhanced recovery methods
• Geothermal systems and renewable subsurface energy
• Carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS)
• Groundwater hydrology and aquifer management
• Subsurface contamination and remediation technologies
• Environmental risk assessment and monitoring systems
• Coupled geomechanical, chemical, and biological processes
• Numerical modelling and simulation of subsurface systems
• Integration of subsurface energy with renewable resources

The journal welcomes original research, theoretical models, case studies, reviews, and applied studies. All manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer review process. Reviewers are selected for their expertise in subsurface energy, fluid systems, and environmental engineering. Evaluation criteria include originality, methodological soundness, clarity, and relevance to the journal’s scope.

An Article Processing Charge will be applied upon acceptance, with details provided after editorial approval.

By combining engineering, science, and environmental stewardship, the Journal of Subsurface Energy, Fluids, and Environmental Systems aims to advance research that contributes to sustainable energy and responsible management of the Earth’s subsurface resources.
