Purpose. Development of an innovative methodology for exploring groundwater deposits for the conditions of rural areas of the Mangystau Peninsula, which will allow finding sources of groundwater with acceptable mineralization with a minimum number of drilled wells. Methodology. The assigned tasks were solved using a comprehensive research method, which includes a review and synthesis of literary sources; patent market research; study of geological and hydrogeological conditions of the work area; critical analysis of existing methods for exploration of groundwater deposits; studying and summarizing previously conducted exploration work in the area and developing recommendations for improving exploration methods. Findings. The reasons for the insufficient use of groundwater reserves on the Mangystau Peninsula have been established. A highly effective method for exploring groundwater deposits has been developed, taking into account the specific features of the Mangystau Peninsula – vast sparsely populated areas and the chaotic location of aquifers with acceptable mineralization. Reducing the number of wells drilled is achieved by searching and identifying the boundaries of the aquifer using successive cycles with a moving center, which allows you to systematically explore the area and find the best aquifers. Originality. For the first time, a methodology for exploring groundwater deposits has been proposed, the main provisions of which are as follows: exploration wells are drilled with a small diameter, and only wells that have uncovered horizons with acceptable mineralization are subject to expansion; wells are drilled using a combined grid, combining the capabilities of radial and regular grids; the centers of the first cycle of the exploration grid are existing water intakes containing water with acceptable mineralization; from such centers, drilling is carried out along a radial grid of six wells; when a horizon with acceptable mineralization is discovered, the discovered well becomes the center of the second cycle of a radial grid of six wells, at least three of which have already been drilled in the previous cycle. Further exploration continues with subsequent cycles with the goal of constructing wells with acceptable flow rate and mineralization. Practical value. The implementation of the developed methodology is of great practical importance for the further development of oil and gas production, industrial production and agriculture of the Mangystau Peninsula, as well as social significance for meeting the needs of the growing population of the region for high-quality water for drinking and household water supply. The use of the developed methodology makes it possible to reduce the number of useless wells, minimizing exploration costs.
