The globalists' worst nightmare: oil will never run out

by Vladimir Litvinenko, Russian mining engineer, rector of the Saint Petersburg Mining University (since 1994) and a specialist in well drilling by the method of rock melting.

The program report of the Rome Club "Limits of Growth" in 1972 predicted the depletion of oil and gas reserves by the middle of the 21st century. To this day, for many quite reputable experts, 2050 is the line beyond which the energy collapse will come. The scientific value of such predictions is questionable. At least because there is still no conclusion in the dispute between two fundamentally different theories of the genesis of hydrocarbons.

Some scientists believe that they were formed as a result of the thermal decomposition of the remains of plants and living creatures in sedimentary rocks. Others hypothesize the origin of oil and gas from inorganic substances in the Earth's mantle (that is, at a much deeper depth) and their subsequent rise to the surface through faults and cracks in the Earth's crust.

By the end of the 20th century, the theory of the abiogenic (inorganic) origin of hydrocarbons was pushed onto the sidelines of science without sufficient justification. The situation was reminiscent of the persecution of geneticists in the Soviet Union in the 1930s and 1960s. Reasoned scientific debate has given way to dogmatism. It is possible that the same Club of Rome needed an apocalyptic forecast for energy resources to justify its policy of reducing the world's population. Today's successes in the field of deep drilling restore the authority of the abiogenic theory, but more on that later.

The conclusions of Russian scientists were confirmed as a result of drilling the Kola superdeep well (in the period from 1970 to 1991). The results are presented in a scientific monograph by Evgeny Aleksandrovich Kozlovsky, Minister of Geology of the USSR in 1975-1989. A practical confirmation of the abiogenic hypothesis was shown and a comprehensive model of oil and gas formation, their migration and accumulation in the Earth's crust was given. This model logically implies a rational scheme of oil and gas geological zoning of the structural elements of the Earth's crust. In other words, scientists provide reasonable answers to the main questions: where to drill and to what depth.

As you know, during the country's global transition to a market economy, the priority was not solving the most important scientific problems, but short-term benefits. The USSR Ministry of Geology did not have time to translate new knowledge about the genesis of oil and gas into a working model for exploration and production enterprises. So far, this information has not been sufficiently presented in the scientific literature, and the primary research has been practically lost, partly due to the secrecy of these studies during the Soviet period. To date, the scientific institutions that conducted those studies have been closed or changed their profile. Only isolated pockets of theoretical research remain, and experiments on geological objects are not carried out.

But an invaluable object for research remains — the core material of the Kola ultradeep well. With today's more modern instrument base and more advanced research methods, its study can yield very interesting new knowledge.

Despite its fundamental importance for humanity, the topic has been pushed out of the forefront of science: the results of experimental research are clearly insufficiently covered. Unfortunately, we are not yet able to penetrate to such depths, where the formation of that gigantic "fiery core" is taking place, in order to ensure the full evidence of the hypotheses.
