This report considers the results of studies of the composition of hydrocarbon components of the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Pugachevo mud volcanoes (Sakhalin Island). The similarity in the chemical composition of hydrocarbons of these volcanoes was revealed, as was the variation in the ratios of hydrocarbon components under seismic activation. Two maxima of hydrocarbon concentrations were shown, and basically the marine genesis of the initial organic matter was substantiated. A possible interpretation of the obtained dada is presented.
