Methods of producing hydrocarbon materials from a geologic formation may include accessing a consortium of microorganisms in a geologic formation that includes a carbonaceous material. The methods may include delivering an aqueous material incorporating deuterium oxide to the consortium of microorganisms. The methods may include increasing production of hydrocarbon materials by the consortium of microorganisms. The methods may include recovering a deuterium-containing hydrocarbon from the geologic formation. Los métodos para producir materiales hidrocarburos a partir de una formación geológica puede incluir acceder a un consorcio de microorganismos en una formación geológica que incluye un material de carbono; los métodos pueden incluir proporcionar un material acuoso que incorpora óxido de deuterio al consorcio de microorganismos; los métodos pueden incluir incrementar la producción de materiales hidrocarburos por el consorcio de microorganismos; los métodos pueden incluir recuperar un hidrocarburo que contiene deuterio de la formación geológica.
