MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF BRINES AND ORIGIN OF BRINE OCCURRENCES IN THE AMU DARYA SYNECLISE.

The study of the origin and characteristics of occurrences of brine in the Amu Darya syneclise is important today, as it allows expanding our knowledge of the geological and climatic history of the region, as well as to influence our understanding of the processes associated with the formation of sedimentary rocks and their use in various scientific and industrial spheres. The aim of the study is to analyse the geological and geochemical characteristics of depositional deposits in the Amu Darya syneclise in order to identify links between these characteristics and hydrocarbon production processes. The study resulted in a detailed description of the geological structure of the brines, including their layered organization, texture, and mineral distribution. It was found that the brines in the Amu Darya syneclise are of ancient origin and indicate a long geological process of their formation. The main minerals characterizing the brines, such as gypsum, anhydrite, and halite, have also been identified through chemical analysis of the samples. The data obtained allow drawing conclusions about the antiquity and conditions of brine formation in the area, as well as suggesting possible changes in the geological and climatic history of the region.
