Abstract
According to the organic theory of oil and gas origin, hydrocarbon potential of their deposits is limited. Therefore, during the exploitation of deposits, this potential must decrease. The discovery of the phenomenon of oil and gas reserves replenishment in developed fields, as well as the experimentally proven possibility of transferring these fields to “inexhaustible” hydrocarbon production mode, poses a number of new tasks for developers. The main one is controlling the hydrocarbon potential of oil and gas deposits and maintaining it at highest possible level. In the article we draw attention to a number of fundamental achievements of domestic scientists, which made it possible to create a biosphere concept of oil and gas formation, on its basis to adequately solve the problem of the origin of oil and gas, and also to explain the modern replenishment of hydrocarbon reserves in developed fields. From the standpoint of biosphere concept, a system of measures is considered that increases the efficiency of developing oil and gas fields in conditions of replenishment of hydrocarbon reserves.
