The main aims and problems of geodynamical monitoring of oil and gas fields are considered. It’s proved that monitoring of deformations of long-term oil and gas fields becomes really actual to secure stable oil and gas production and transporting. Basic criteria of geodynamical polygon creation and general requirements for gas and oil fields monitoring are adduced in this work. For practical creation of geodynamical polygons one indicated equipment, methods and content of work with phases.
