The pattern of energy flow offers important information to understand underlying dynamics in collider physics. Energy correlators are natural observables to quantify these patterns. The past few years have witnessed interesting developments of using energy correlators in the collinear limit as a phenomenological tool to probe dynamics across different colliders. In this talk, I will review the collinear factorization of energy correlators in perturbative QCD and introduce the light-ray operator product expansion formalism. We generalize this framework to describe both hadronization corrections in the pre-confinement (perturbative) regime as well as the post-confinement (free hadron) regime. Based on these results, we will propose a conjecture formula for the collinear EEC.
