Abstract: We consider the consequences of the scientific revolution in oil and gas geology, which are directly related
to the problems of climate warming and sustainable development. The biospheric concept of oil and gas
formation is discussed, which solves the problems of the balance of carbon and water cycles in the Earth's
biosphere, taking into account human activities. According to new ideas, oil and gas are the renewable
resources of our planet, replenished during the exploitation of deposits. It has been established that the
replenishment of hydrocarbons in deposits is taking place with the participation of a previously unknown 40-
year carbon cycle in the biosphere: the transport of
CO2
from the atmosphere by meteoroid waters below the
Earth’s surface. In crustal rock, water-soluble carbon dioxide is involved in mechanochemical hydrocarbon
synthesis reactions. The conclusion is obtained that with a scientifically based approach to the production and
consumption of oil and gas there is an opportunity to exploit their deposits as replenished sources of
hydrocarbons. This fact, on the one hand, makes it possible to classify oil and gas as “green” energy sources,
and on the other hand, significantly reduce the impact of their consumption on the climate.
1 INTRODUCTION
At present, the world is facing two urgent challenges:
ensuring the sustainable development of the world
economy and warming the climate, with serious
geopolitical and economic consequences for many
countries. The increase in carbon dioxide (CO
2
) and
other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, while the
current consumption of fossil fuels (oil, gas and coal)
is increasing, marks a change in climate. Their use as
fuels results in large quantities of CO
2
entering the
atmosphere. Therefore, the developed countries see
the solution to the climate problem in the
abandonment of fossil fuels and their replacement
with renewable «green» energy sources, which are
considered to be the energy of the Sun, wind and
water. There are also plans to move the world
economy towards the use of «clean» hydrogen that
does not emit CO
2
into the atmosphere. Clean
hydrogen is to be obtained from renewable energy
sources. However, a complete phase-out of
hydrocarbons in the transition to hydrogen energy is
a

now evident and is unlikely to be necessary in the
future.
There are two different approaches to countering
anthropogenic warming. One is based on accounting
for the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from
human activities and attempts to reduce them in any
way, while the other is based on addressing the
fundamental problem of the origin of oil and gas,
which is directly related to observed climate change.
The first approach is commercial, governed by the
international climate agreements currently in place,
signed by 192 countries. The approach is to trade
greenhouse gas emissions between highly developed
and developing economies. This approach is based on
the view of the UN Intergovernmental Panel that
warming of the climate is caused by anthropogenic
emissions of carbon dioxide (CO
2
) and methane
(CH
4
). However, it has been established that the main
greenhouse gas is water vapor, the greenhouse effect
of which far exceeds the influence of CO
2
, CH
4
, etc.
on the climate (Table 1). However, this factor is not
taken into account or taken into account by UN
experts.

The second is a scientific approach that identifies
the true cause of climate change. This, in our view, is
due to man’s predatory interference with the global
geochemical cycle of biosphere matter occurring on
our planet. The scientific approach is based on the
biosphere teaching of V.I. Vernadsky (Vernadsky,
2001), as well as the work of domestic scientists,
including three scientific discoveries made by them
over the past 40 years.

These discoveries show the failure of a
commercial approach to solving climate and
sustainability problems as a “new energy strategy”
that can solve both problems by moving away from
the production of “dirty” oil and gas and replacing
them as energy sources with “clean” hydrogen.
2 MATERIALS AND METHODS
The scientific approach implements three
fundamental discoveries of Russian scientists, which
together transfer oil and gas from the category of
“dirty” fossil fuels to the category of renewable
“green” energy sources. Let's look at these
discoveries one by one.
2.1 First Discovery
This discovery is officially registered in the USSR as
the scientific «Discovery №342» from 21.04.1982
(Trofimuk et al., 1982a, 1982b) under the name:
«Phenomenon of transformation of organic matter of
sediment rocks under the action of tectonic and
seismic processes of the Earth’s crust». This
phenomenon consists in the formation of
hydrocarbons as a result of mechanochemical
transformation of organic matter of sediments under
the action of tectonic and seismic fields (Trofimuk et
al., 1981; Trofimuk et al., 1982a, 1982b). Later, the
authors of the discovery N.V. Chersky and V.P.
Tsarev proved in experiments that gas-oil
hydrocarbons are formed from both organic and
inorganic (Chersky et al., 1984) and fully oxidized
carbon containing substance (Chersky et al., 1986). In
this way, it has been established that hydrocarbons
arise under natural conditions not only from heat but
also from the mechanical energy of the host rocks.
The discovery substantiated the possibility of the
formation of a wide range of oil and gas hydrocarbons
from a carbon substance with the participation of
tectonic and seismic processes at formation
temperatures of less than 60–70°C.
The new phenomenon was independently studied
by V.I. Molchanov (Molchanov, 1967; Molchanov et
al., 1969; Molchanov, 1981; Molchanov et al., 1992).
Under his leadership, since the 1970s, the Institute of
Geology and Geophysics of the USSR Academy of
Sciences has been conducting studies of carbon-
containing minerals and rocks during ultrafine
grinding in water-saturated media. The result was an
understanding of the mechanochemical mechanism
of hydrogen generation and synthesis of
hydrocarbons in sedimentary rocks under moderate
thermobaric conditions.
This mechanism, called «geosynthesis», has been
experimentally studied by S.N. Zakirov with
employees at the Institute of Oil and Gas Research
Institute Russian Academy of Sciences (OGRI RAS)
since the beginning of the 2000s (Zakirov et al.,
2013a; Zakirov et al., 2013b;Barenbaum et al., 2015;
Zakirov et al., 2016; Barenbaum et al., 2020). The
synthesis of hydrocarbons was studied according to
the CO
2
+H
2
O reaction, thermodynamically
impossible under standard conditions. Simulations of
the CO
2
+H
2
O reaction showed that on the activated
surface of the matrix of rocks it flows at low
temperatures (25°C) and just above atmospheric
pressure, accompanied by physical-chemical decay of
water to form a large amount of hydrogen. It is
obtained that from the chemical point of view the
reaction of CO
2
+H
2
O belongs to the same class of
polycondensation reactions of synthesis of
hydrocarbons from carbon oxides and hydrogen
(Barenbaum et al., 2020; Rudenko, 1969) as well as
known reactions of Fisher-Tropsch (CO+H
2
),
Engelhardt-Kelbel (CO +H
2
O) and others.
2.2 Second Discovery
In the 1990s, a group of geologists from Russia
discovered that in a number of fields where oil and
gas production was temporarily suspended, after 2-3
years there was an increase in hydrocarbon inflows in
the deposits. These inflows were detected for the first
time in the late stages of the exploitation of old
deposits that were 50 years old or older (Sokolov et
al., 1993; Smirnova, 1999; Ashirov et al., 2000;
Problems of Climate Warming and Sustainable Development from the Perspective of the Biosphere Concept of Oil and Gas Formation
333
Muslimov et al., 2004). An attempt was first made to
establish a link between tributaries and the lack of
accuracy in the estimation of recoverable reserves or
in the feeding of nearby low-yielding deposits.
However, in the 2000s, the widespread occurrence of
this phenomenon became evident, leading geologists
to conclude that hydrocarbons were continuously
spilling into their mined deposits. First employees of
Moscow State University B.A. Sokolov and A.N.
Gusev understood and correctly explained the
essence of the phenomenon (Sokolov et al., 1993). In
1993 they declared that: «oil and gas are apparently
renewable natural resources, and therefore their
development should take place on the basis of
calculations of the balance of the amount of
hydrocarbon generation and acceptable for the
rational use of their extraction during the exploitation
of deposits».
Ten years later, A.A. Barenbaum constructed the
theory of this phenomenon, proposing the biosphere
concept of oil and gas formation (Barenbaum, 2004,
2007a, 2007b, 2000, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015a, 2015b,
2017, 2018, 2019). With the findings (Trofimuk et al.,
1982a, 1982b) and (Sokolov et al., 1993) in mind, it
has generalized the well-known traditional
hypotheses of hydrocarbon genesis by
complementing them with representations of
participation in the formation of oil and gas
hydrocarbons in the global water and carbon cycles
across the Earth’s surface. From these positions the
key problems of carbon and water balance in the
biosphere were solved and it was shown that oil and
gas formation is a modern natural phenomenon
closely connected with geochemical cycling of the
biosphere and human economic activity, as her
important representative. In this way, the biosphere
concept allowed to give a new paradigm of
hydrocarbon formation (Sokolov et al., 1993) the
necessary theoretical justification, as well as to
substantiate the possibility of exploitation of oil and
gas facilities as replenished, i.e. «green» energy
sources.
This phenomenon was never supposed to be
organic or mineral hypotheses. Therefore, the
creation of the concept of the biosphere carbon and
water cycle on Earth was the beginning of new
revolutionary discoveries in oil and gas geology. As
a result, both hypotheses, which have been at odds
with geology for more than 100 years, are now giving
way to notions of oil and gas as indestructible
minerals of our planet.
2.3 Third Discovery
According to the concept of the Earth’s carbon and
water cycle, underground oil and gas accumulations
are natural geological traps of mobile carbon that
circulate through the Earth’s surface. At the same
time it has three main cycle: two of them are
geological (with times of ~10
6
years and ~10
9
years),
and climatic or «biosphere» with a period of rotation
~ 40 years (Barenbaum, 2004, 2010). The last cycle
is responsible for the carbon cycle (mainly in the form
of water-soluble CO
2
in atmospheric air or organic
matter). All these three cycles are closely
interconnected and occur in such a way that above the
Earth's surface, which acts as a geochemical barrier,
the mobile carbon of the biosphere circulates mainly
in the oxidized form (CO
2
), and under the Earth's
surface - in the earth's crust, conditions are created for
its transformation into hydrocarbons (Zakirov et al.,
2013; Barenbaum et al., 2015; Zakirov et al., 2016).
In this mechanism, organic matter, aqueous CO
2
and
carbonaceous minerals can be a carbon donor for
hydrocarbons, and water can be a hydrogen donor.
Because of their low water solubility, hydrocarbons
form their own petroleum and gas accumulations in
the geological trapping structures of the upper crust.
Geologists had not previously taken into account
the contribution of the 40-year biosphere cycle to the
formation of hydrocarbon resources. The dispute
among adherents of traditional hypotheses of oil and
gas formation concerned the predominance of a
geological cycle of hydrocarbon formation (~10
6
and
~10
9
years). Climatologists, who considered the
formation of hydrocarbons in the interior to be a very
slow process that could be neglected, also did not
consider this cycle. In reality, however, it is this cycle
that plays a major role in the replenishment of oil and
gas fields, as well as influencing regional and global
changes in the planet’s weather and climate.
These new concepts are reflected in the theoretical
model (Barenbaum, 2000, 2010) which has made it
possible to study the carbon and water cycling
regimes of our planet at different periods of its
geological history: pre-Cambrian, plywood and the
modern era. The model showed, inter alia, that the
biosphere’s geochemical system is currently in a
stable dynamic equilibrium that provides a biosphere
cycle. In this state, any imbalance caused by external
factors or human economic activity eliminates the
biosphere by redistributing mobile carbon between its
main reservoirs, which in the biosphere cycle are:
atmosphere, oceans, Living organisms, soils,
hydrocarbon deposits and underground hydrosphere.

neutrality", Kadyrov Chechen State University Chechen Republic, Grozny, st. Sher
334
Another important conclusion is (Barenbaum,
2010) that water, oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO
2
)
form a common geochemical cycling system on our
planet. Its unifying beginning, as V.I. Vernadsky
(Vernadsky, 2001) claimed, is the biosphere. By
entering the cycles of water, carbon and oxygen as a
constituent element, living organisms bring the
velocity of the biosphere’s material cycle into line
with that of the geological cycle of the groundwater.
3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Under the biosphere concept, the formation of
hydrocarbons in the subsurface is caused both by sub-
surface processes and by CO
2
circulation over the
surface. Both processes are highly participatory and
to some extent influenced by the individual.
Evidence shows that, with the current practice of
exploiting hydrocarbon deposits, the regional and
global geochemical equilibrium in the biosphere is
disturbed by fracturing the formation by means of
hydraulic fracturing methods that destroy geological
traps. On the basis of the Le Chateller principle, the
biosphere seeks to restore this balance by all possible
means. Climate warming is therefore a reaction of the
biosphere to imbalance, such as the replenishment of
exploited deposits with hydrocarbons, an increase in
the intensity of degassing of the subsoil, an increase
in the atmospheric content of CO
2
and CH
4
, etc. Thus,
these effects are anthropogenic, but they are primarily
caused by processes not on the surface, but in the
interior of the Earth. The main cause is the activation
of the carbon and water cycle across the Earth's
surface within the 40-year cycle of the biosphere.
Hence, the formation of hydrocarbon deposits is
determined not only by the conditions of their genesis
and accumulation in the interior, but also by the
geochemical carbon cycle in various forms over the
Earth’s surface. Therefore, human activities play an
important role, affecting to some extent the regional
processes of formation of oil and gas deposits in the
subsoil (Barenbaum, 2007a, 2007b).
The recovery of oil and gas from deposits at a
moderate rate (without serious disruption of
groundwater circulation) should not significantly
affect the oil and gas potential of the region, which
will affect the rate of replenishment of its deposits.
But this may be the case if extracted oil and gas are
used within the same hydro-geological basin where
they were extracted. The transportation of
hydrocarbon raw materials to tens of thousands of
kilometers from their production sites contributes to
the regrouping of the world’s oil and gas resources.
The industrialized countries, which consume oil and
gas intensively, contribute to their accumulation. In
contrast, hydrocarbon-exporting countries deplete
their resources.
Another predicted consequence is the
displacement of large hydrocarbon accumulations in
the oceans. Due to the absence of hydrocarbon
storage conditions on the continental fringes, carbon
is transported by groundwater run-off waters to the
shelf and continental slope (Barenbaum, 2007a,
2007b). As a result, it is here that the main
hydrocarbon reserves of our planet, which includes
not only oil and gas, but also gas hydrates.
The last important conclusion is the emerging
capacity to exploit oil and gas as a renewable source
of hydrocarbon raw materials. In the case of careful
subsoil use, at the rate of extraction of hydrocarbons
from deposits not exceeding the rate of their natural
replenishment, it becomes possible to replenish the
resources of oil and gas fields. In this case, the
industrial development may involve small deposits,
which are currently considered uneconomical for
economic reasons. The efficiency of using the
hydrocarbon potential of the Earth’s subsurface can
also be improved by intensifying the hydrocarbon
submergence in the deposits in specific fields by
means of special drilling of wells and optimization of
their operation modes.
4 CONCLUSIONS
Carbon dioxide, as an important component of carbon
on the planet, is involved in many natural and
technogenic processes and technologies. Carbon
dioxide has long been used widely and with
considerable effect in oil recovery (ERP)
technologies. It is often seen as a negative gas due to
the problem of global warming on Earth. Therefore,
as a way out of this situation, many countries have
begun to research and implement various
technologies for the disposal of CO
2
in the Earths
interior. At the same time, the oil industry attracts the
technology of carbon dioxide injection into depleted
oil and gas fields to intensify additional oil extraction
from depleted and developed reservoirs.
Recently, the issue of solving the «balance
problem» of carbon in the biosphere, connected with
its less order-of-magnitude flow into the crust of the
Earth than from the subsoil, has become significantly
more acute. It is becoming increasingly urgent to
refine models of carbon circulation in the
environment to obtain more objective estimates, as
many models are based on highly inaccurate and

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.
