Abstract
The results of a numerical study of reservoir properties of coal samples containing fracture systems are presented. Coal thin polished specimens are used as a source of crack systems. The problem of fluid filtration in cracked coals is numerically solved by the finite element method. The influence of fracture system geometry on the filtration properties of geomedium is demonstrated.
