Due to the growth of demand for natural gas, including for environmental reasons, the topical issue of today has become the expansion of its resource base in the Republic of Kazakhstan by involving in the search, exploration and additional exploration of areas, stratigraphic horizons and objects that are promising for its discovery. Among latter, deposits of the Shu-Sarysu depression deserve closest attention, which are characterized by the all necessary geological conditions for the formation and preservation of hydrocarbon accumulations, and productivity of which is confirmed by the discovery of commercial natural gas fields. Nevertheless, despite a significant number of wells drilled and geophysical studies performed over more than half a century of study the degree of its knowledge as a whole remains low and hinders the exploration and development of its hydrocarbon potential. This is because of uneven distribution of geological and geophysical surveys, focused only on a few individual blocks of the basin, and due to the remoteness of the basin from the necessary facilities and the small size of previously discovered gas fields. Petroleum potential of any territory mainly depends on its geological and geophysical knowledge and features of the tectonic structure that control hydrocarbon accumulation zones. This article considers the synthesis and system analysis of the results of geological and geophysical studies, including data on seismic, gravity, magnetic, thermal space surveys and drilling, as a tool for solving the tasks set.
