The paper presents the results of a reconnaissance study of soil and surface water from the Bovanenkovo gas-condensate field (Yamal Peninsula). The results obtained during the field study in September 2017 are evidence of variations in a depth of the seasonally thawed layer within 25—140 cm. Preliminary outcomes show that the soil temperature regime is significantly influenced by granulometric composition and vegetation cover. Permafrost leads to the development of soil gleying processes, the formation of gley and organogenic soil horizons. Calcination-induced loss of organogenic soil horizons reaches 80—90 %. The total carbon content in mineral horizons of soils varies from < 0,1 to 1,6 %. All investigated soils have low content of mineral forms of nitrogen and mobile phosphorus. The surface waters under study are ultrafresh, low mineralized and brackish. The dominant macro- and micro-components of the studied rivers and lakes are the following: calcium, magnesium, sodium, silicon, sulfur, iron, strontium, titanium, lithium, vanadium, copper, nickel, cobalt, manganese, including trace amounts of chromium, lead, arsenic and cadmium. Magnesium, sodium, sulfur and strontium predominate in brackish and increased salinity waters.
