SEISMIC SITUATION IN THE CASPIAN SEA AS A BASIS FOR JOINT ACTION

Abstract

Caspian Sea is one of the regions that attracts attention in terms of seismic activity. The presence of
oil and gas deposits in the region and the export of oil and gas produced here to world markets make the seismic
study of the Caspian Sea an international necessity. For this, it is necessary to strengthen the geological and
seismic research of the region. İn order to ensure the effectiveness of these studies, there is a need for regional
cooperation of the relevant institutions of the states located in the Caspian basin. It is also important that
international companies engaged in oil and gas production take part in the investigation of seismic processes in
the Caspian Sea. In the article, the seismic situation of the Caspian Sea was studied, and the importance of the
geopolitical aspects as well as the geophysical aspects of the issue was noted.
