Abstract
This work describes the peculiarities of neotectonics and geodynamic development of the Kuznetsk Basin since the Oligocene. The complex of studies included structural-geomorphological analysis with interpretation, satellite image data processing, and field observations. The studies we carried out allowed us to reveal that the modern dislocations in the Kuznetsk Basin are characterized by an arched-block style of tectonic movement. The modern structural pattern of the Kuznetsk Basin is a combination of wide uplifts separated by narrow depressions and weak zones (fault zones, fracture zones, and zones of rock disintegration) of northwestern, northeastern, submeridional, and sublatitudinal strike. As a result of these studies, the relationships between modern and ancient tectonic structures and the geodynamic features of the development of modern dislocations that depend on the degree of activization of tectonic structures have been revealed. Statistical analysis of the results of the interpretation allowed us to reveal areas of high permeability and higher dislocation density in the geological setting with a higher concentration of methane.
