Analysis of available published geological-geophysical data by the new seismic data CDP and drilling allowed making a conclusion that there are two groups spatially separated salt dome structures within the Chu-Sarysu basin. Age of rocks in the cores of the Permian salt structures in the north-west and the Devonian in the southeast, and not only the Devonian as previously thought. The shear-thrust movements are the decisive role in the development history of the Permian salt domes in northwestern Chu-Sarysu basin.
