How to search for oil and gas in the north

The Far North is a territory that exceeds several European states. It is characterized by extreme climatic conditions, a quarter of all foreign exchange earnings in the state budget of Russia comes from this region. It annually produces 20% of the world and 90% - of Russian gas and oil

Oil and gas

Oil is a mineral, which is an oily liquid. It is a flammable substance, often black in color, although oil colors vary from region to region. It can be brown, and cherry, green, yellow, and even transparent. From a chemical point of view, oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons mixed with various compounds, for example, sulfur, nitrogen and others. Its smell can also be different, as it depends on the presence in its composition of aromatic hydrocarbons, sulfur compounds.

From a chemical point of view, ordinary (traditional) oil consists of the following elements:

• Carbon - 84%

• Hydrogen - 14%

• Sulfur - 1-3% (in the form of sulfides, disulfides, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur as such)

• Nitrogen - less than 1%

• Oxygen - less than 1%

• Metals - less than 1% (iron, nickel, vanadium, copper, chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, etc.)

• Salts - less than 1% (calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, sodium chloride, etc.

Natural gas is a certain state of matter in which there is no significant interaction between the particles that make up its composition. The component particles are characterized by chaotic motion, the desire to fill the existing space. Natural gas is formed as a result of chemical processes in the bowels of the earth. Existing natural gases are difficult to classify due to differences in the structure of the molecular lattice.

Natural gas is a mixture of gases formed in the bowels of the Earth during anaerobic decomposition of organic substances. Natural gas is a mineral.

Natural gas is a naturally occurring flammable gaseous mixture of hydrocarbons formed during geological transformations in a "trap" between sedimentary rocks.
