The threshold value of gas pressure for outburst pmin in MPa may be calculated by formula Pmin =5(0. 1+0. 07Kf), where / is the hardness and V the volatile content (%) of a soft bed. In China, the value of Pmin of some outburst prone coal seams ranges from 0. 57 to 0. 1 MPa.展开更多

However, the concrete definition of simultaneous extraction is vague and there is little accurate theoretical support for the simultaneous extraction of coal and gas, which makes it difficult to determine an efficient gas drainage method appropriate to the features of coal seams. Based on theoretical analysis, laboratory tests and field observations, a specific definition of simultaneous extraction of coal and gas is proposed after analyzing the characteristics of coal seam occurrences in China, and we developed the mechanism of mining-enhanced permeability and established the corresponding theoretical model. This comprises a process of fracture network formation, in which the original fractures are opened and new fractures are produced by unloading damage. According to the theoretical model, the engineering approaches and their quantitative parameters of ＇unloading by borehole drilling＇ for single coal seams and ＇unloading by protective seam mining＇ for groups of coal seams are proposed, and the construction principles for coal exploitation and gas-drainage systems for different conditions are given. These methods were applied successfully in the Tunlan Coal Mine in Shanxi Province and the Panyi Coal Mine in Anhui Province and could assure safe and efficient simultaneous extraction of coal and gas in these outburst coal mines.展开更多

In the soft coal seam with Platt coefficient f < 1, hole collapse and pressure drilling are easy to occur in directional drilling through layers, which may cause drilling accidents. Through the research on the matching combination of directional drilling rig, mud pump, screw drilling tool and other equipment, sliding drilling and compound drilling technology, the accurate and efficient drilling of directional cross-layer drilling can be realized. The directional cross-layer drilling rock segment is between 70 and 90 m. If there is geological structure in the drilling rock segment or cracks appear due to the increase of rock stress around the roadway, the attenuation of borehole gas concentration will increase rapidly. Through secondary plugging grouting at the borehole opening and reverse grouting in the borehole, the borehole gas extraction concentration will be effectively increased, and efficient extraction and release of coal seam gas will be achieved. The directional drilling rig random measurement system can control the drilling construction orientation, solve the technical problems of deviation of drilling trajectory, crack coal and gas outburst mines, construct long-distance cross-layer drilling and gas extraction blank zone, and realize outburst elimination in outburst coal seam area. The adoption of the outburst prevention and control plan for directional cross-layer drilling area can reduce the tunneling work amount of the rock roadway at the bottom plate of the working face, reduce the safety accident rate of the mine gas disaster and the safety cost expenditure, and will produce huge economic and social benefits in the aspect of mine gas prevention and control.展开更多
