Abstract: The analysis of the natural gas organic geochemical characteristics and the comprehensive study of the gas reservoirs?forming geological conditions in Sarybulak area in eastern Zaysan basin of Kazakhstan show that the gas in this area belongs to biodegraded gas of the Permian and the Jurassic heavy oils, with gas accumulation occurring in Late Neogene to Quaternary. It is suggested that the biodegraded gas in this area is characterized by abundant resources, high abundance and huge potentials for exploration. A series of anticlinal and faulted anticlinal traps formed during Himalayan orogenic period could be the major targets for natural gas exploration in this area
