Abstract

The analysis of the geological nature of the methane macroleakages in the northwest Black sea on the basis of comparison of their position relatively of perspective oil gas structures and the analysis of the seismic information is made. Connection of the methane macroleakages sites location with crossing of two deep faults testifies to more probable deep nature of methane. The analysis of space images numbers after their computer processing and the visual analysis testifies to incidental displays of the methane macroleakages in form of the anomalies on space images.
