Understanding of complex systems using the laws of synergetics and informatics

The author shows how the laws of informatics and synergetics can be used to explain the genesis and evolution of such a complex natural system as petroleum. When one creates the matrix of hydrocarbon molecules using the laws of informatics, the latter imply the ambiguity in the quantum behavior of the electrons. This dynamic and static uncertainty comes into play during the oil field location process. Consideration is given to the laws of synergetics, which demonstrate the self-organization ability of the molecules. A new type of molecules is formed in the hydrocarbon fluid near the bifurcation points, associated with the variation of the thermodynamics, structure, and mixture of the geological environment. In the analysis of the petroleum formation process, consideration is also given to the notion of attractor. It serves as the basin of attraction for all hydrocarbon molecules, in which the exact petroleum molecular composition is formed.
