A new set of search criteria for oil deposits in oil-bearing sediments based on geochemical and geophysical information

Controversial Issues of Hydrocarbon Field Formation and the Role of Geomagnetic Fields

“…We noted previously [9] that the oil-bearing potential of the Bazhenov suite could be associated with areas exhibiting Oil components (𝛿 13…”

“…The method of electromagnetic influence on the oil-saturated reservoir shows an increase in the debits of producing wells [39]. Moreover, it is noted in the literature that in a permanent magnetic field, the rate of petroleum generation processes is increased when the activation energy of carbon-carbon (-C-C-) bond breaking is reduced or the reaction rate raised [9]. In the other work [16], it is shown that the exposure of oil to a 50 Hz low-frequency field changes the fractional composition of oil.…”

“…We will focus our attention on the geological contradictions of the existing concepts. We will try to explain some contradictions from the perspective of the role of radical reactions in the processes of oil generation [8], which are activated by natural geomagnetic fields [9]. From the viewpoint of fundamental laws of chemistry, we will present a brief review of the properties of isotopes with magnetic moment [10], as well as the phenomena of spin catalysis, which were discovered by Buchachenko and Berdinsky [11].…”
