A new scenario for the development of gas and oil production is proposed, based on the use of greenhouse gas sequestration projects that allow increasing the oil recovery coefficient of reservoirs depleted by flooding, ensuring the production of viscous, shale, and hard-to-recover oil, as well as starting the production of methane from its hydrates or from coal. The main idea of the article is that oil and gas production and sequestration of greenhouse gases are not antagonists. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is possible through the use of natural gas, which is an environmentally friendly fuel. It is necessary to involve huge reserves of methane hydrate or coal methane in the development while using collectors for sequestration of CO2. To improve the economy of sequestration projects, it is proposed to abandon the simultaneous commissioning of the entire technological chain of greenhouse gas sequestration and the use (where possible) of a high degree of concentration; it is recommended to pump greenhouse gas in the form of a water-gas mixture with pumping and booster units; for sequestration, first of all, use reservoirs with hard-to-recover oil reserves.

The method of preparation of models of the formation from Turonian clay sandstone necessary for research has been developed. It is shown that to stabilize the swelling of the Turonian rock, at least 7 days of contact of the rock with mineralized water are necessary. To stabilize the filtration properties of the gas and reduce the residual water saturation, it is necessary to filter the gas for 1.3–1.5 days with the total volume of methane pumping at least 6–8 pore volumes (p. v.).

The influence of wave (acoustic and high frequency electromagnetic) treatment of biomass—fuel oil—water three-component suspensions on the results of their gasification is investigated. The influence of gasification process implementation conditions on the yield and composition of the produced syngas was studied.

The effect of iron-containing solid wastes from metal working, asphaltene and paraffin deposits, and that of an electromagnetic field on activated low-temperature viscosity breaking of bituminous oil has been studied. It has been found that the use of additives and an electromagnetic field makes it possible to reduce the temperature of oil cracking to 397°C, increase the yield of light petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, and gas oil fractions), and increase the quality of produced fractions.

The technology of processing sludge includes electromagnetic activation of raw materials, catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, and oxidative desulfurization. Preliminary activation reduces electromagnetic temperature catalytic processes at 60–80 ℃, increasing the yield of light products, reduce sulfur content in liquid products at 13–19

Calculations are performed to determine ionization potentials and wave parameters for different types of bonds, which allows the minimum time of activation of hydrocarbons containing those bonds to be calculated as well. Results are presented from a study of the effect of the parameters of electromagnetic radiation on the yields of products in the thermal cracking of non-hydrofined oil sludge. The results were used to construct the first mathematical models that make it possible to both interpolate and extrapolate the parameters of the sludge-cracking operation.

The results of modeling of thermal cracking of oil sludge activated by electromagnetic radiation are reported. An experimental-statistical model of dependence of wide gas oil fraction yield on radiation frequency, electromagnetic radiation power, and oil sludge activation time is obtained to optimize the cracking process conditions.

This article presents experimental and theoretical data on the catalytic cracking of oil sludge mixed with vacuum gas oil with and without activation of the feedstock by electromagnetic radiation. Mathematical models of the catalytic cracking of oil sludge in the presence of aluminosilicate zeolite catalysts are constructed. It is demonstrated that preactivation of the feedstock enhances gasoline and diesel yield upon cracking. Cracking of activated feedstock occurs with a lower activation energy.

The influence of acoustic, high-frequency electromagnetic, and combined acoustic and high-frequency electromagnetic radiation on the group and fractional composition of oil and oil residue subjected to heat treatment is studied. It is shown that when oil is exposed to acoustic and combined acoustic and electromagnetic radiation, the "consequence" effect, which is accompanied by lowering of viscosity, initial boiling point, and the pour point, is observed for up to a few days after exposure. Data on the influence of the nature of wave radiation on the group composition of the oil are furnished. Based on the obtained data, the mechanism of spin-catalysis of thermal cracking of oil and oil residues is proposed.

This review considers effective modern methods for oil sludge and acid resid treatment. We analyze in detail the technologies for dewatering, solidification, solvent extraction, thermal treatment (including in the presence of catalysts), and modern oil sludge and solid fuel (oil shales, coals) treatment methods. We note that the dominant criteria for the effectiveness of oil waste utilization technology should be cost effectiveness and reduced environmental stress.
