Abstract: The development of geo-energy resources, including oil, gas, and geothermal reservoirs, is being transformed through the creation of low-energy processes and innovative technologies. This Special Issue compiles cutting-edge research aimed at enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and recovery during geo-energy extraction. The published studies explore a diverse range of methodologies, such as the nanofluidic analysis of shale oil phase transitions, deep electrical resistivity tomography for geothermal exploration, and hybrid AI-driven production prediction models. Their key themes include hydraulic fracturing optimization, CO2 injection dynamics, geothermal reservoir simulation, and competitive gas–water adsorption in ultra-deep reservoirs, and these studies combine advanced numerical modeling, experimental techniques, and field applications to address challenges in unconventional reservoirs, geothermal energy exploitation, and enhanced oil recovery. By bridging theoretical insights with practical engineering solutions, this Special Issue provides a comprehensive foundation for future innovations in low-energy geo-energy development.
