Abstract

Results of repeated geophysical observations above the Yuzhno-Lugovskoye gas field (southern Sakhalin) carried out from 2003 to 2006 are considered. It is shown that the gas field is a natural indicator of geodynamic processes occurring in the gas field and beyond it. A complex of methods and observations is offered to estimate the degree of productivity of the objects involved in prospecting drilling. They provide further development of the short-term forecast of seismic events by geophysical methods, because seismic pulses propagating from an external source cause sharp changes of the geophysical fields above the gas-containing structure.
