Modern tectonic movements as a predetermining factor in the formation and preservation of gas accumulations (on the example of the Kovyktinskoye field)

Abstract

One of the possible options for assessing the latest tectonic movements is described, which is based on the analysis of relief-forming processes within the exogenously active layer of the earth's crust. In the process of comparison of relief-forming processes of different directions, general tendencies of their changes were revealed. These trends for the upper part of the exogenously active layer reflect a significant increase in the values of the horizontal and vertical components of the relief formation process. Further modeling will make it possible to identify the shear component of relief formation, confirm the presence of thrusts that are distinguished for the object under study according to geological data and the inherited nature of the development of the earth's crust.
