Dear colleagues

The letter is accompanied by some publications and relevant materials to open discussions in various groups dealing with the genesis of hydrogen. I will try to answer your questions at the proper level.

I present the results of our long-term research on the simultaneous and joint genesis of hydrogen, oil and diamond in the same volume of rocks, due to the deserpentinization of ultrabasic rocks within the Earth's crust.

There are numerous publications on the generation of hydrogen and oil near the surface horizons of the Earth's crust, occurring within temperatures of 200-300C, one of which is the serpentinization process, in which infiltration water is part of the rock. The process is accompanied by the generation of hydrogen, which is the main component of hydrocarbons. Thus, the undeniable fact is the widespread occurrence of serpentinized rocks in both the continental and oceanic crust.

And what happens to serpentinized rocks when, due to tectonic processes, these rocks sink to various depths of the earth's crust, being subjected to high pressures and temperatures?

In laboratory conditions, modeling of Earth depths up to 40-50 km, with the study of seismic and density properties of serpentinized rocks, at temperatures of 500-550C revealed the process of dehydration of these rocks. In a closed volume, under high thermobaric conditions, the released water is hydrolyzed into hydrogen H2 and oxygen O2, which causes an instant explosion. Ultrahigh pressures (80-100 kb) and temperatures (1000-1200C) are created in the volume. Due to chemical reactions between hydrogen and carbon-containing components, oil is formed, and ultrahigh pressures form diamonds from carbonaceous components. The hydrogen and carbon particles remain free. That is, natural hydrogen, oil, diamond and other accessory minerals are simultaneously formed in the same mass of rocks..

Having great respect for the authors of publications related to the organic and inorganic mantle and crustal genesis of hydrogen, oil and diamond, I dare to present, on a number of numerous concepts, the results of our long-term research related to the genesis of deposits of natural hydrogen, oil and diamond within the Earth's crust in various regions of the Earth.

Thus, within the earth's crust, at various depths (10-50 km), in certain areas, conditions are created similar to those of the upper mantle, corresponding to depths of 300-400 km.

Hydrogen, oil and geofluids of various compositions, in a mixed state, along deep faults, migrate from various depths of the crust to the upper horizons, where their gravitational differentiation and accumulation occur both in fractured rocks of the granite layer and in sedimentary layers with reservoir properties.

The explosion causes an earthquake, the dehydrating mass turns into an igneous hearth (in situ). In some volcanic regions of the Earth, diamond crystals are found in erupting lava flows.

An explosion in the Earth's crust creates like a tube of explosions (with a deep location of the dehydrating mass) the same kimberlite structures (with a shallow arrangement of the dehydrating mass).

Based on many years of research and the results obtained, a new concept has been proposed :

Dehydration of serpentinized rocks as a possible source of the genesis of earthquakes, natural hydrogen, hydrocarbons, diamond-bearing structures, geofluids, mud volcanoes, precious and non-ferrous metals within the Earth's crust in various regions of the Earth.

The concept is characterized by more than 17 criteria, it is proposed to use them in the search and exploration of hydrogen, oil and diamond deposits in various regions of the Earth.

It is also proposed to consider some currently mysterious factual data, such as: water and oil molecules in native diamonds, diamond crystals in lava flows, large accumulations of oil products in various regions of the Earth, for example, such as the territory of Arab countries.

Thank you in advance for understanding and agreeing to start a discussion in your group.

Best regards,

Albert Harut.
