The zone of Kalush and Holynska deposits of potassium salts, Kalush in particular, villages Kropuvnuk and Sivka-Kaluska, were declared as ecological disaster zone in 2010. One of the most actual problem of the area is the erosion of precipitation saltbearing heap overflow tailings and dissemination areola as salinity groundwater and surface water, as well as the risk of a essential deterioration in water quality in the city's water intake. To assess the actual state of river water in the studied area during low-flow held their checking detailed geochemical sources of pollution to the peripheral areas. Two mechanisms of demineralization of river water – gravitational infiltration of water with a salinity of more than 5,0–10,0 g/l runoff and dilution water with distance from the source of pollution due to increased water content of the channel flow have been determined.

Peculiarities of prognosis and perspective recourses calculation of diamond, which are based on using the model objects with industrial scale of concentrations or under mining, are given in present article. To create model characteristic for diamond deposits, diamond-bearing rocks of the French Guiana have been used as example. Typical features of geological-structural position as well as petrography and mineral composition authors compared with potential diamond- bearing rocks of greenstone structures of the Ukrainian Shield. Results of such comparison were analyzed to determine perspective sectors by different petrochemical diagrams. They showed some similarities between model objects and the separate sectors of greenstone structures of Ukrainian Bed after a number of chemical components and indicators of comatiites.

Role of geosoliton conception in abiogenic theory of hydrocarbon genesis is discussed in this article. The background of the conception is an idea about permanent degassing of the Earth and moving of the materials, which are rich in substation of the Earth crust and mantle, in form of flows-solitons. Soliton is a special kind of substation between solid rocks and radiation (particle and photon). In subvertical zones of destruction (SZD) in upper mantle and earth crust these flows form a new structural formations – geosoliton chimney rich in fluids due to the materials from surrounding rocks and which are characterized by anomaly of high pressure and temperature. Geosoliton chimneys contain high debit concentration of hydrocarbons, which we can see in number of oil and gas fields in the Western Siberia, Sakhalin, Brunei, etc. The geosoliton conception which is obtained as a part of the theory of abiogenic genesis of hydrocarbons, can be a serious positive movement in practice of exploration of gas and oil fields in Ukraine.
Key words: abiogenic genesis of hydrocarbons, degassing of the Earth, geosoliton, subvertical zone of destruction, resources of hydrocarbons, oil and gas fields, gas column.

Organic substance of biogenic origin takes an active part in the forming of sedimentary rocks. Interaction of mineral (inorganic) part of rock with organic matter is obvious. Activation of fluid’s reaction ability during tectonic movements (folding) is depended on their additional saturation by organic matter during migration that leads to recrystalization of primary rocks and development of secondary porosity.
Key words: granular collector fluid, organic matter, silica , quartz, hydrocarbons.

Results of the detailed new tectonophysical and structural researches in the Porkulets and Duklya nappes of the southeastern part of the Ukrainian Outer Carpathians were interpreted. Field investigations were carried out in 2010-2011 in the Chorna Tysa river valley, from Kvasy to Bilyn villages (Rakhiv region, Transcarpathian). More than 400 orientations of tectonic joints, 30 slickensides in outcrops and in the sides of the roads in 8 points of observation were measured and studied in detail. Reconstructed by complex using of structural-paragenetic and kinematic methods sequence of paleostress fields with orientations of the principal axes (σ1, σ2, σ3) indicates changes of the deformation regimes during Cenozoic time. Identified by joints and slickensides strike-slip deformation regime in post folding-faulting time is possibly connected with the Rakhiv-Tysa fault zone formation. Rose-diagram of the 140 joints filled with calcite orientation was created. Calcite was formed within the systems of different age joints.
