Abstract:
The geodetic observations over the Astrakhan Gas Condensate Field make good grounds to predicate that a mining-induced seismic
event is preceded by uplifting of the land surface and followed with intensive subsidence of the ground due to unloading of
rocks from effective stresses. The uplifts of the earth surface may be assumed a deformation forerunner of an earthquake and
utilized in forecasting the place and time of seismic events at oil and gas fields.
