incomplete patterns describing the carbon fluxes
between its main reservoir on the planet. It is
reasonable to conclude that the biosphere cycle is not
limited to the carbon cycle above the surface, but
covers the entire biosphere, including its underground
part.
As a result of discoveries of Russian scientists and
creation of biosphere concept, a set of measures
allowing to develop oil and gas deposits as renewable
sources of hydrocarbons has been proposed, or in
other words, as a “green” energy sources. These
measures should include:
− strict control of mining technologies by
fracturing techniques to maximize the
conservation of natural oil and gas traps;
− extraction from the subsoil of hydrocarbons in
a quantity not exceeding the amount of their
entry into the deposits;
− well-designed logistics, in which hydrocarbons
are consumed in the territorial vicinity of
hydrological (oil and gas) basins of their
production. Efforts should be made to ensure
that as much CO
2
as possible is returned to the
subsoil.
The experience of transporting hydrocarbon fuels
over long distances from their production sites
already leads to large accumulations of hydrocarbons
on the ocean shelf, where they are deposited in the
form of gas hydrates, creating new problems.
New ideas about oil and gas as indestructible
energy carriers obviously require serious analysis and
revision of the whole system of management that has
been established in the world today. It should be
borne in mind, however, that oil and gas can only be
resumed to a sufficient extent in deposits with a sound
scientific mining system.
