In article the review of a level of scrutiny for problem of the deformation processes development on long developed petroleum and ecological consequences accompanying them is given. In more details these processes are considered for the oldest Absheron petroleum bearing region where fields are strongly depleted, and the formation pressures drop reaches 80 % from initial pressures. Ecological consequences of this phenomenon are following: development in area of petroleum fields Balakhany-Sabunchi-Ramana, Surakhany, Garachukhur, Bibi-Eybat intensive (up to 47 mm/years) process of subsiding of the grounds and their flooding, occurrence of the induced seismicity (Surakhany earthquake in 1937). With purpose of forecasting of geodynamic processes creation of system of the seismic and geodynamic control complexes is recommended.
