This Special Issue includes many advanced high-quality papers that focus on gel applications in the oil and gas industry. The papers in this Special Issue present the new development of gels that can be used as conformance control agents, drilling fluid additives, and hydraulic fracturing agents.

Technology: general issues --- viscoelastic surfactants --- wormlike micelles --- gels --- viscoelasticity --- oil recovery --- hydraulic fracturing --- clean fracturing fluids --- responsiveness to hydrocarbons --- oligomeric surfactants --- nanoparticle/VES fluids --- polymer/VES fluids --- plant press slag (PPS) --- carboxymethylation --- mixture of carboxymethyl cellulose and carboxymethyl starch (CMCS) --- filtrate reducer --- drilling fluids --- fumaric acid sludge (FAS) --- free radical copolymerization --- filtrate loss reducer --- organic wastewater of phthalic anhydride --- oil well drilling fluids --- wellbore stability --- biopolymer --- encapsulator --- water-based drilling fluids --- chemical strengthening --- weak gel --- numerical simulation --- displacement efficiency --- filtration reducer --- high temperature --- water-based drilling fluid --- nanomaterials --- calcium carbonate --- polymer gel --- water coning --- chemical packer --- horizontal well --- offshore oil-field application --- enhanced gel system --- enhanced foam system --- heterogeneous reservoir --- plugging adaptability --- enhanced oil recovery --- low temperature --- high salinity --- conformance control --- salt resistance --- phenolic --- gel --- compound --- staged --- gelling acid fracturing --- temporary plugging --- n/a
