The salt-bearing North Caspian basin have been experienced a long-term subsidence of a basement starting from Kungurian time. There were widely developed salt-dome tectonics, which happened in Mesozoic-Cenozoic. Salt tectonics have been affected for overburden rocks. Various lithological-stratigraphicunits of the Permian-Cenozoic succession were divided into three dislocation stages: disharmonious-folded, continuous or holomorphically folded, and discontinuously or euhedral-folded. There was developed geological model which consistent well with the global tectonic events that determined the evolution of the northern margin of Tethys paleoocean. This margin experienced tectonic stress associated with both the opening and closing of large oceanic structures in the Late Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic.
