Today the Arctic region exploration is one of the most important courses for research in our country because large amounts of unexplored oil and gas deposits are located there. Large deposits of hydrocarbons are situated in water areas of the North seas. Gas explosions complicate the development of hydrocarbon deposits in these water areas. They occur as a result of an accidant opening and further spread of gas. It is impossible to carry out the frequent exploration of the area with gas layers, then the numerical modelling of the area with already detected gas deposits is conducted. In this work, we present the results of numerical modelling of seismic waves spread in multilayered geological models with gas-containing inclusions during the four-year period with the use of the grid-characteristic method. Then, the wave patterns of seismic reflections and seismograms for the described problem were obtained. We conducted the comparison of wave patterns and seismograms for the 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional cases. The results demonstrated a good coincidence.
