Abstract
A digital geoelectric model of the Karaton-Sarkamys block located in the southern (Kazakhstan) part of the Caspian Depression has been elaborated on the basis of processing and interpretation of magnetotelluric-sounding data. Geoelectric sections and structural maps of geoelectric layers have been constructed. It has been shown that magnetotelluric sounding combined with seismic and GIS data can be efficiently used to obtain additional information about the lithologic and reservoir properties of petroleum plays.
