Аnnotation: The South Caspian Basin (SCB), located within the Alpine-Himalayan mobile belt, is known for its intensive modern fluid dynamics, the quantitative and qualitative analysis of which allows solving many problems of oil and gas ontogenesis, including the development of diapirism and mud volcanism. In the paper, on example of basic mud volcanoes (MV) and gas condensate fields, the main features of modern fluid dynamics in the SCB are considered with purpose to quantify the volumetric velocity of their focused flows. These assessments were carried out using both the classical and the new (based on the concept of renewable gas resources in the reservoir and in the focus of MV) methodological approaches. The estimates made for the volumetric rate of periodic replenishment with gas of the MV chamber (0.44×10
