Abstract: The results of the mine and the laboratory studies of the free gas content of the sylvinite and sylvinite-carnallite zones of the Upper Kama districts are presented. In the process of the experimental studies, the quantitative characteristics of the free gas content were obtained for sylvinite, carnallite and rock salt layers. In the process of the laboratory studies by the gas chromatography of the natural gas samples, the component composition of the free gases was assessed. Based on the geological structure analysis and the gas content study, the assessment of the composition, the volume, the location and the intensity of the natural gases release is given. Based on the experimental studies results of the free gas content, and an analysis of the locations, the volume and the intensity of the gas emissions, the probable places of the free gases accumulation are installed. The main which are the anticlinal folds inflection the rupture and the crushing, the fractures, the tectonic disturbances, the transition of the sylvinites into the carnallite and the composition changes of the layers.

Keywords: a salt layer, a sylvinite zone, a sylvinite-carnallite zone, a gas content, a free gases, a component composition, a gas emissions intensity, a accumulation sites, a anticlinal folds, a local zones, a tectonic faults

Acknowledgments: Research was carried out with the support of the RFBR grant No. 20-45-596017.
