Abstract. Influence of geological factors on the gas-bearing coal rock mass was studied. The key task was to determine location of the methane-accumulating zones in the mine field sector under the study and prepare their description. Involving of some geological factors for predicting the methane-accumulating zones makes possible to consider the coal-rock massif, in which mining operations are conducted, as a complex system, which is formed under the action of geological, geomechanical and geodynamic processes, and to properly arrange methane-draining works. The research was conducted for the Pokrovskoe Mine and included choosing of geological factors and determining of their influence on the gas-content in the coal rock massif and analyzing of and building of prediction maps for the methane-accumulating zones.

Keywords: methane, geological factors, coal seam, fracture, collectors.
