Abstract. Issues of methane filtration parameters changing near the tectonic disturbances are considered in the article. A mathematical model was designed for simulating joint behaviour of the non-stationary coupled processes of elastoplastic stress-strain state changing in the fractured-porous medium and methane filtration around a single roadway in the tectonic disturbance zone. Effect of a ratio between the principal stress tensor components on rock permeability changing was taken into account.

Distributions of values of methane pressure around the roadway and graphs of the coal seam permeability are shown in different time points near tectonic dislocation and non-disturbed zone in the coal seam. It is stated that methane filtration occurs in a quasi-stationary mode outside the bro-ken area, and dynamic process are not further developed. In a disturbed zone of the coal seam, gas emission into the roadway increases by 1,5-6,7 times if compare with the gas emission outside the disturbed zone. Depth of methane filtration area increases with time when the roadway is advanced through the undisturbed coal seam; when geomechanical and filtration processes are developed dy-namically near the tectonic dislocations depth of filtration area at the front of destruction signifi-cantly reduces; the depth continues to grow only after returning back from dynamic mode to the quasi-stationary mode of filtration.

Keywords: methane filtration, tectonic dislocations, gas-dynamic processes.
