| I.I. Nesterov | NANOTECHNOLOGIES FOR ARTIFICIAL FORMING OF INDUSTRIAL DEPOSITS OF HYDROCARBON RAW MATERIALS IN THE LAYER CONDITIONS OF THE EARTH’S CRUST |
| Institute of Geology and Natural Resources, Tyumen, Russia |
Among two theoretical positions on the problems of genesis and forming of the deposits in the layers of the earth’s crust, organic and non-organic ones, the most plausible is the first one. The resources of the organic deposits in the crust are practically inexhaustible and come to 33,0 •1015 tons. The proposed nanotechnologies enable to involve into the process of raw carbon formation locally found bituminous clays, siliceous clays, carbonate-clay beds and carbonate siliceous strata in the volume 1,2 •1012 tons with coefficient for oil extraction of 70-90% on the first stage. There are preconditions for producing solid fuel on the basis of mineral carbon and slate coals with the calorific value of more than (70-80) •103 kilocalorie/kg. The resources of such strata in the Earth’s crust comprise about 15,6•1012 ton.
Clay collector in bituminous strata does not have firm skeleton and after oil extraction transfers into a shield. In such deposits there is no external flooding, and a moving force for oil stream is carried out by mountain pressure.
Industrial oil deposits are extracted in Western Siberia on 150 sites with maximal debits up to 700-5000 M3/per day. High quality oil with the output of light products up to 60% does not contain sulphur and paraffin. After extracting oil from the same wells it is possible to extract uranium, which resources are pre-estimated as 2 billion tons. Such strata are found in the USA, Brazil, England, North Caucasus, China and other countries.
Their involvement in extraction will radically change the strategy of energy generation not only in Western Siberia and Russia but in the whole world.
