The article is devoted to a uniform geoinformation database creation of the ecological-geological content directed on monitoring of the condition of the Astrakhan Region environment. The necessity of the specified geoinformation system creation is dictated by the process of the development of mineral – raw resources of the Astrakhan Region. The opportunity and prerequisites of the given geoinformation system creation are proved. The basic precondition of creation of uniform geoinformation system is constantly increasing technogenic capacity that is in many respects caused by process of an intensification of exploration works on oil and gas, and extraction of hydrocarbons. In addition, necessity of creation of the given system is dictated by features of the geological environment within the Astrakhan region and a considerable quantity of especially protected natural territories. The examine of geoinformation system, including the detailed analysis of each degree depending on features of a structure of the geological environment of the Astrakhan region is considered. The basic operating scientific workings out in sphere of ekologo-geological monitoring of territories being in limits of technogenic influence of exploration works on oil and gas, and also mining operations process are resulted. The hydro-geological structure of the top part of a cut within territory of the Astrakhan region.
