Abstract. Methods for methane extraction from the coal deposits in Donbass are developed in three directions: extracton of free methane from areas with favorable geological conditions and with no coal-mining operations; concomitant extraction of coal mine methane; and extraction of methane from industrial waste collectors in active or abandoned mines. Aim of the work is to validate prospects of methane production in the Ukrainian coal deposits and, in particular, in industrial waste collectors by drilling wells from the mine tunnels. Methane was recovered from industrial waste collectors by underground drilling wells in the  temporary abandoned V.M. Bajanov Mine of the "Makeevugol" Company, layer m3, site of the 8th eastern longwall of the dip-working panel and site of the western discharged longwall of the dip-working panel.

The paper provides grounds for efficient methane extraction from industrial waste collectors in the abandoned fields of coal mines through underground wells with the rate that make the methane output commercially effective.

Keywords: methane recovery, technological accumulation of methane, abandoned fields of mines, wells, drilling.
