- One of the most serious difficulties encountered during the estimation of results of various methods of methane drainage from coal seams is the determination of the initial condition of the analysed coal seam prior to commencement of the actual process of methane drainage. It is well known that the exploitation operation in adjacent coal seams, as well as preparatory works in the analysed seam may significantly modify the original state of methane adsorption in that seam, as well as influence the distribution of pore pressure and saturation of its natural fractures with fluids (gas, water). This state is of dynamic nature and depends on a long and complex history of the mining activity in the analysed facility and its surrounding. Detailed specification of the above condition is usually replaced by qualitative and very approximate models, which does not allow for consideration of the process preceding the methane drainage. The subject of the paper is the quantitative evaluation of the initial conditions for a coal seam with the use of dedicated simulation models of the analysed seam along with its broad surroundings. Results of this modelling including modifications of appropriate transport parameters of layers between the seams and their influence on detailed distribution of pore pressures, levels of methane desorption from the coal matrix, directions of reservoir fluids flow (methane, water) and saturation with these fluids in natural fractures of the selected seam, as well as in the pores of overburden and underburden rocks will be thoroughly analysed for determination of spacious and temporal effects of the mining activities in terms of their influence on the selected seam.
