N2 - The paper presents results of the pioneering study of equilibria in the water-gas system by the example of Jurassic- Cretaceous deposits of the Yamal-Kara depression located within northern West Siberia and its Arctic regions. Numerical modeling of physicochemical equilibria and evasion-invasion processes in the water-gas system allowed determination of the degree of groundwater saturation with gases and the nature of diffusive redistribution of gases in the media that form at the hydrocarbon deposit-groundwater contact. According to the degree of water saturation with gases (Kg), aquifers with poorly (<0.2) to ultimately (0.8-1.0) gas-saturated waters have been established. The revealed increase in the degree of groundwater saturation with gases in sinking producing reservoirs reflects its dependence on their total gas saturation.
