Aimed at the low mining efficiency in deep multi-seams because of high crustalstress,high gas content,low permeability,the compound 'three soft' roof and the trouble-somesafety situation encountered in deep level coal exploitation,proposed a new idea ofgob-side retaining without a coal-pillar and Y-style ventilation in the first-mined key pressure-relieved coal seam and a new method of coal mining and gas extraction.The followingwere discovered:the dynamic evolution law of the crannies in the roof is influenced bymining,the formative rule of 'the vertical cranny-abundant area' along the gob-side,thedistribution of air pressure field in the gob,and the flowing rule of pressure-relieved gas ina Y-style ventilation system.The study also established a theoretic basis for a new miningmethod of coal mining and gas extraction which is used to extract the pressure-relievedgas by roadway retaining boreholes instead of roadway boreholes.Studied and resolvedmany difficult key problems,such as,fast roadway retaining at the gob-side without a coalpillar,Y-style ventilation and extraction of pressure-relieved gas by roadway retainingboreholes,and so on.The study innovated and integrated a whole set of technical systemsfor coal and pressure relief gas extraction.The method of the pressure-relieved gasextraction by roadway retaining had been successfully applied in 6 typical working faces inthe Huainan and Huaibei mining areas.The research can provide a scientific and reliabletechnical support and a demonstration for coal mining and gas extraction in gaseous deepmulti-seams with low permeability.

Research into comprehensive gas extraction technology of single coal seams with low permeability in the Jiaozuo coal mining area

For a low permeability single coal seam prone to gas outbursts,pre-drainage of gas is difficult and inefficient,seriously restricting the safety and efficiency of production.Radical measures of increasing gas extraction efficiency are pressure relief and infrared antirefiection.We have analyzed the effect of mining conditions and the regularity of mine pressure distribution in front of the working face of a major coal mine of the Jiaozuo Industrial(Group) Co.as our test area,studied the width of the depressurization zone in slice mining and analyzed gas efficiency and fast drainage in the advanced stress relaxation zone.On that basis,we further investigated and practiced the exploitation technology of shallow drilling,fan drilling and grid shape drilling at the working face.Practice and our results show that the stress relaxation zone is the ideal region for quick and efflcient extraction of gas.By means of an integrated extraction technology,the amount of gas emitted into the zone was greatly reduced,while the risk of dangerous outbursts of coal and gas was lowered markedly.This exploration provides a new way to control for gas in working faces of coal mines with low permeability and risk of gas outbursts of single coal seams in the Jiaozuo mining area.

Hydraulic drill hole reaming technology with large flow and draining of coal mine gas

This paper takes Zhaozhuang mine in Shanxi province as an example to study the technology of hydraulic reaming drill hole for improving the gas extraction.The influence of the physical properties of coal seam on the hydraulic reaming drill holes and the draining of coal mine gas were analyzed and discussed for different coal structure areas,and the following conclusions were made.Hydraulic drill hole reaming has had a positive impact in Zhaozhuang Mine,and can improve the efficiency of gas extraction to different degrees.The water jet pressure used in hydraulic drill hole reaming mainly depends on the structure of the coal.When the coal seam basically becomes integrated,the critical water jet pressure increases,the discharge becomes relatively easy to achieve,the blocking effect on the gas extraction decreases,and the gas extraction significantly increases after the reaming process.When the coal seam is broken,the critical water jet pressure decreases,the discharge becomes difficult to achieve,the blocking effect on the gas extraction becomes obvious,and the gas extraction changes slightly after reaming.

煤层顶板间接压裂裂缝扩展机制及影响因素

碎软低渗煤层在我国普遍发育,制约煤层气单井产气量提高和产业发展。间接压裂是通过在邻近层产生垂直裂缝沟通煤层进而实现煤层有效改造的一种压裂方式,可以有效应对钻井塌陷、煤粉产出、压裂液滤失和煤层厚度薄等不利因素。通过间接压裂物理模拟试验和扩展有限元数值模拟分析,揭示煤层顶板间接压裂裂缝扩展影响因素,明确裂缝扩展机制,以期为间接压裂技术提供指导。通过直接压裂煤层和不同起裂位置、垂向应力和施工排量影响下间接压裂试验表明,起裂压力高,更易产生长裂缝,且受原生裂缝影响程度减小;但起裂点距离煤层越远,起裂所需能量越大,高破裂压力会对煤层造成粉碎性破坏;大施工排量下,起裂压力对应升高,起裂时间变短,原生裂缝影响程度变小。考虑地应力、起裂位置、岩石力学和施工排量等参数的数值模拟结果显示,在模型参数设置条件下,最大水平主应力和垂向应力差在<4 MPa,煤层与顶板有效应力差>3 MPa、弹性模量差<15 GPa的地层和岩性组合适合间接压裂,起裂位置距离煤层最优距离为<6 m,施工排量需要根据力学性质、断裂能密度等参数确定最优范围。

低渗煤层大直径钻孔瓦斯抽采参数优化研究

针对低渗煤层瓦斯抽采存在预抽难度大的问题,提出大直径钻孔预抽能够降低低渗煤层瓦斯含量的方法。但由于低渗煤层对气固耦合效应影响敏感,抽采中渗透率变化过程不明确,导致大直径钻孔抽采参数设计依据不足。首先分析了低渗煤体渗透率演化的主控因素,建立了煤层瓦斯运移理论模型,模拟研究了大直径钻孔不同工况下对低渗煤体的瓦斯抽采效果,对比分析不同孔径、负压、孔间距下煤层瓦斯渗流规律。结果表明钻孔孔径越大造成的煤体卸压区越大,瓦斯抽采量越高,瓦斯残余含量也越小,但抽采效果增加幅度逐渐降低。负压越大瓦斯抽采量越大,但差别较小,因此负压对提升抽采效率影响较小。受渗透率演化的影响,不同钻孔间距下瓦斯抽采总量差别较大,在间距为3 m时,40~120 d阶段内抽采量最高,后期抽采量缓慢下降。间距5 m时抽采总量最高,抽采范围内的瓦斯残余含量降低较多。现场优化抽采后的瓦斯抽采纯量与模拟结果一致,表明了研究结论可靠。该研究结果可为煤矿井下大直径钻孔瓦斯抽采参数设计提供理论依据与应用参考。

峰峰集团九龙矿2号煤埋深大,瓦斯含量高,为保证工作面安全回采,开展了瓦斯卸压增透技术的研究。与其他致裂方式相比,超高压水力切缝卸压增透技术的成本低、安全性高,对地质条件的适应性强,是一种理想的低渗煤层增透方式。该技术可破坏钻孔的“瓶塞效应”,促进裂缝的产生、发育和贯通,由此提高透气性,加大煤层中瓦斯的释放。在15249N工作面的现场应用表明,割缝钻孔单刀出煤量0.78 t,等效割缝半径1.89~2.31 m,较普通钻孔瓦斯抽采浓度提升1.6倍,瓦斯抽采纯量提升3.79倍,取得了较好的增透效果。

瓦斯压力对低透性煤吸附-解吸特性及孔隙分布的影响

为了从微观的角度探究瓦斯压力对深部低透性煤层吸附-解吸特性及孔隙分布的影响,采用低磁场核磁共振技术(NMR),开展深部低透性煤不同瓦斯压力下的吸附-解吸试验。试验发现:瓦斯吸附态、游离态和自由态下,T_(2)谱幅值积分与瓦斯压力呈现较好的线性关系,其拟合结果R^(2)均大于0.973 48,微观自由态瓦斯在瓦斯压力等于3.739 MPa处瓦斯的吸附-解吸出现了迟滞效应。不同瓦斯压力下,孔径类型分布差距较大,煤样内部孔隙分布主要是小孔占据大部分,而中孔和大孔所占比列较小。研究结果对深部低透性煤矿资源开采具有一定的指导意义。

基于FLAC^(3D)-COMSOL序贯耦合的钻割煤体三维卸压瓦斯流场数值分析

水力割缝技术通过高压水射流在煤层中构建人工裂隙,可实现低渗煤层的区域性卸荷增透和瓦斯高效抽采。然而,经典的COMSOL软件难以对钻割煤体的三维卸压瓦斯流场进行解算,严重制约了水力割缝技术的工程应用。鉴于此,采用FLAC3D-COMSOL序贯耦合的数值解算方法,以中厚煤层钻割卸荷增透为例,对不同割缝半径、割缝厚度、埋深和割缝方式下钻割煤体的三维卸压瓦斯流场进行了数值分析。结果表明:水力割缝过程中,钻割煤体发生了卸荷损伤,形成了较大范围的圆台形塑性损伤区,煤体渗透率可大幅提高2~3个数量级;随着割缝半径和割缝厚度的增加,煤体的增透范围和瓦斯抽采半径逐渐增大,但在相同出煤量情况下增加割缝半径更有利于中厚煤层的卸荷增透和瓦斯抽采;深部高地应力环境导致煤层初始渗透率下降,但也可提高钻割煤体的增透范围和增透幅度,因此钻孔早期瓦斯抽采效果好,后期抽采效果差,在抽采过程中应尽量增加钻孔密度,缩短抽采周期;割缝方式对中厚煤层的整体卸压瓦斯抽采效果具有显著影响,单缝钻孔平行布置情况下煤层卸压瓦斯抽采效果最好,单缝交错布置情况下次之,而双缝间隔布置情况下最差。
