Abstract. Studies of fossil coals with varying degrees of disturbance were carried out. Mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) on hydrogen nuclei 1Н methods were used in the work. Advantages of these methods for studying fossil coals are shown. Influence of the degree of the coal disturbance on their reservoir properties was considered. The differences of elemental composition and kinetics of methane desorption from the studied samples were investigated. Gas desorption from experimental samples is described satisfactorily with taking into account diffusion and filtration mechanisms. It is shown that a large number of closed pores are retained in undisturbed samples; this fact significantly increases duration of methane release from coal during the desorption. The obtained results can be used for calculating processes of methane release from inhomogeneous coal seams basing on existing theoretical model representations.

Keywords: fossil coal, methane, NMR, mass spectrometry.
