Abstract: The invention relates to the fuel-producing industry, more specifically to the oil and gas
industry and can be used for artificially forming a hydrocarbon fuel in bottom sediments. The
aim of said invention is to provide the humanity with a novel method for forming artificial
fuel. The earth shell contains 5.8 % iron. Iron oxides (III) are contained in oxygen-rich soils
of the earth surface. The earth surface is transformed into mountains or sunken by tectonic
forces, whereby placing iron (III) in low-oxygen areas where it is transformed into iron (II)
When water is introduces in such an area through a well chemical reactions including the
transformation of iron (III) into iron (II) are initiated. A main reaction is carried out according
to a formula:
 8FeO+CaCO 3  +15H 2 O → 4(Fe 2 O 3  • 3H2O) + Ca(OH 2 ) +CH 4 ↑   
     The final stage of a hydrocarbon fuel formation in terms of ion is expressed as follows:
 CO 3   2-  + 3H 2 O → CH 4 ↑+2OH - +2O 2     
     The inventive method for forming and accumulating the hydrocarbon fuel in situ
technologically varies according to a geological state of formations. Said fuel can be formed
and accumulated under hermetic rock salt layers which are not damaged by tectonic forces
and under undamaged natural protective areas in the form of a chalk deposit whose layers are
cemented by sandstone nature. In places where the natural protection areas are damaged by
tectonic forces, the fuel is formed and accumulated by the formation of an artificial cover on
the Earth surface.
