ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY OF DIRECT-PROSPECTING METHODS APPLICATION FOR DETECTION AREAS OF GAS AND NATURAL HYDROGEN MIGRATION TO THE SURFACE AND IN THE ATMOSPHERE

Abstract

The paper presents materials of experimental reconnaissance studies in various regions of the globe (Black and North Seas, Gulf of Mexico, Brazilian offshore, hydrogen degassing areas), which are important arguments in favor of the "volcanic" model of formation of various structural elements of Earth, deposits of combustible and ore minerals as well as water. Experimental studies were carried out using a mobile low-cost technology, including modified methods of frequency-resonance processing and decoding of satellite images and photo images, vertical electric resonance sounding (scanning) of the cross-section, as well as a method of integral assessment of the prospects for oil and gas content and ore content of large prospecting blocks and license areas. Separate methods of this direct-prospecting exploration technology are based on the principles of the “substance” paradigm of geophysical research, the essence of which is the search for a specific (required in each specific case) substance - oil, gas, gas condensate, gold, zinc, uranium, etc. The results of instrumental measurements indicate that many of the surveyed areas are located above volcanoes, within which the synthesis of oil, condensate and gas is carried out at the border of 57 km. In the contours of such volcanoes, there are deep channels through which oil, condensate and gas migrate to the upper horizons of cross-section and can replenish the already formed deposits on hydrocarbon fields. In the absence of reliable seals over such channels, oil, condensate and gas can migrate to the upper horizons of cross-section, the water column, and gas further into the atmosphere. During this migration, gas seeps are formed on the seabed and oil slicks on the water surface. The measurements confirmed the presence of all previously established types of volcanoes, in which conditions for hydrocarbon synthesis exist at a depth of 57 km. These are volcanoes filled with 1) salt, 2) sedimentary rocks, 3) limestones, 4) granites and 5) ultramafic rocks. Studies on relatively large areas indicate that in various regions there are a significant number of volcanoes, within which there are no conditions for the synthesis of hydrocarbons and amber. These are volcanoes filled with 1) dolomites, 2) marls, 3) siliceous rocks, as well as 4) basalts and 5) kimberlites. The results of studies in the area of ​an open gas field in the Turkish sector of the Black Sea (Tuna-1 site) indicate the presence of large hydrocarbon deposits in this region. Within the discovered basalt volcanoes in the area of Borisoglebsk, as well as in Manevichsky and Rozhishchensky districts of the Volyn region, instrumental measurements recorded the facts of hydrogen migration into the atmosphere. When conducting experiments at the survey sites, methodological techniques of the zones detection and localization, within which the migration of hydrocarbons to the surface horizons of the cross-section, and gas (methane) and hydrogen into the atmosphere occurs, were developed based on the results of satellite images and photo images frequency-resonance processing. Additional evidence obtained by instrumental measurements in favor of the deep (abiogenic) genesis of oil, condensate and gas is of fundamental importance. Numerous facts of fixing signals from oil, condensate and gas at the boundary of their synthesis 57 km in various regions of the world make it possible to suggest the migration of abiogenic methane and hydrogen into the Earth's atmosphere in colossal volumes! Methane seeps and oil slicks can serve as indicators of the activity of volcanoes in which hydrocarbons are synthesized. In these cases, drilling wells in the areas of the location of deep channels of the abiogenic hydrocarbon’s migration to the upper horizons of the cross-section may be associated with great risks - with emergency situations during drilling. The practical application of direct-prospecting methods and technologies will accelerate and optimize the exploration process for oil and gas.
