Abstract
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.
