Purpose. Assess the influence of technogenic transformations of the geological environment in the extraction of minerals on the seismic activity of the earth's crust in mining regions, taking into account the technogenic impact on the natural environment of geodynamic processes in the upper layers of the lithosphere, where active production of oil and gas is being carried out on the basis of automated systems and new generation technical equipment, developed by experts from leading scientific centers of the world.
Research methodology. Field and experimental studies, transformations of the physicochemical characteristics of groundwater, changes in the collecting properties of operational blocks and layers of sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks using standard and new methods were used.
Results. It is established that monitoring seismic events in the network of seismic stations when selecting technological modes of production, planning the construction and operation of engineering structures, reducing the likelihood of emergency situations and informing the public about seismic activity in the region and will allow to take seismicity into account.
Scientific novelty. Data of geological development, its structure and tectonic regime within the Ural region are systematized taking into account the types and degree of man-made loads on geological structures, injection of adjacent water layers and toxic industrial wastewater into deeply absorbing layers of carbonate rocks. The possibility of assessing further changes in the geological environment within the region under study is proved based on the current state of technogenic and geodynamic interaction.
Practical value. The introduction of seismic monitoring in the oil and gas industry and the mining industry allows real-time study and analysis of the degree of change in the stress-strain state of the geological environment of the region.
