Abstract

Explores the possible impact of seismotectonic processes in active faults of Azerbaijan lower Kura depression and bordering territories in hydrocarbon deposits. According to the obtained instrumental data of numerous weak seismic impact registered by extensive network of digital stations, potential endemic zone are identified on site research and their seismic potential are estimated. Obtained results shows, that in the lower Kura depression and bordering territories there are some focal zones, which can generate earthquakes with 10 points intensity. Faults arising in these focal zones when strong earthquakes, can lead to the destruction of oil and gas deposits and migration patterns (leakage) of oil and gas.
