This article discusses gas seeps in coastal line of Alyat foreland; about 600 gas seeps have been revealed in this area at sea depth of 40-50 m and some of them emit on average 135486 m³ of gas in a year. There is a comparative analysis of chemical isotopic composition of gases from oil and gas field of Alyat-deniz and nearby Bakhar and Dashgil mud volcanoes. On the base of geological-tectonic conditions of region, chemical and isotopic composition of gas seeps it was defined, gases composition of mentioned fields are close between each other and are confined to deposits of Productive Series.
