The paper analyzes the complex geophysical (seismic, gravimetric) and downhole geophysical survey (DGS) of the SW part of the Hovsan Shallow Water area, specifying the lithofacies composition of Pliocene sediments, predicting oil and gas potential, identifying promising areas in the Turkan and Gala areas related to non-anticlinal traps, substantiating the directions of search and exploration work for these types of traps, predicting favorable conditions for hydrocarbon accumulation, and predicting oil and gas potential. At the Hovsan oil and gas field, research work was carried out on the temporal sections of the seismic profile of two common depth points developed in 2004. Based on the obtained amplitude and energy diagrams, a comparative analysis of anomalies in the zones of minimum values of dynamic parameters of tested and reflected waves at oil and gas facilities of profiles No. 030808 and 030908 was carried out. As a result, as can be seen from scheme of the seismic profiles in the Hovsan shallow water field, it was assumed that during the migration of oil and gas, the border of this local change in lithology plays the role of local change in lithology, due to the fact that the borders of these local change in lithology diverged due to the approximate overlap with the borders of two small tectonic faults, which are observed at a sufficient distance, based on numerous downhole and seismic data. Taking into account the complex topography of the area, we have chosen such an observation system, in which field on the Hovsan area is exposed to 2 directions (Shah dili and Gala field island). Here, it was possible to detect trap type anomalies in the same places by radiating the area from different directions. By choosing such a mutual observation system and radiating the same area from different directions, the location of trap type anomalies was determined.
