How to quickly eliminate outburst in long-distance through-coal seam tunnels is one of the major challenges faced by the tunnel industry in mountainous areas. Compared with coal mine rock crosscut coal uncovering, the work surrounding the rock of through-coal seam tunnels has a high degree of breakage, large cross-section of coal uncovering, and tight time and space. In this paper, a method of networked slotting in long-distance through-coal seam tunnels for rapid pressure relief and outburst elimination is proposed. Based on this method, the corresponding mathematical governing equations and numerical simulation models have been established. The optimal borehole arrangement spacing and the slot arrangement spacing obtained by numerical optimization are 2.85 m and 3.1 m, respectively. Field gas production data of through-coal seam tunnels show that compared with the traditional dense-borehole gas extraction, the method of networked slotting in long-distance through-coal seam tunnels for rapid pressure relief and outburst elimination can shorten the extraction time by about 66%, the net quantity of peak extraction is increased by 3.55 times, and the total quantity of gas extraction when reaching the outburst prevention index is increased by 1.26 times, which verifies the feasibility of this method and the reliability of numerical simulation results. This study could be used as a valuable example for other coal deposits being mined under similar geological conditions.

Fracture Development

When stratified mining is adopted in high-gas and extrathick coal seam, a large amount of pressure-relief gas of the lower layer flows into the upper layer goaf along the cracks in the layer, resulting in upper layer working face to frequently exceed the gas limit. And ordinary drilling can no longer meet the requirements of the pressure-relief gas drainage of the lower layer. The 205 working face of Tingnan Coal Mine is taken as the test background in this paper, and based on the “pressure-relief and flow-increase” effect of the lower layer under the action of mining stress during the upper layer mining, the gas drainage of kilometer directional drilling in lower layer is studied. According to the distribution characteristics of support pressure before and after the working face, the pressure-relief principle, fracture development characteristics, and gas migration law of the lower layered coal body are analyzed in the process of advancing the upper layered working face in the extrathick coal seam with high gas. The maximum depth of goaf damage is calculated theoretically, and the Flac3D numerical simulation of the failure deformation of the 205 working face floor is carried out. It is found that the maximum depth of plastic failure of the lower layer is about 13 m. According to the plastic deformation of the lower layer under different vertical depths and the movement of coal and rock mass, it is determined that the reasonable range of kilometer directional drilling in the lower layer is 6–9 m below the floor vertical depth. From 15 m to 45 m in the two parallel grooves, there is no fracture failure with a sharp increase or decrease in the displacement in the local range. Meanwhile, in this part, the roof falling behind is not easy to compaction, and the displacement of the floor is large, which does not cause plastic damage. The degree of pressure relief is more sufficient, and the permeability of the lower layer is good. Therefore, drilling should be arranged as much as possible along the working face in this tendency range. The determination of reasonable arrangement range of kilometer directional drilling in extrathick coal seam provides reference index and theoretical guidance for industrial test of working face and also provides new ideas for gas control of stratified mining face in high-gas and extrathick coal seam.

Coal seam permeability is one of the key factors influencing the gas extraction efficiency, which is of great significance to reduce coal and gas dynamic disasters in gassy coal mines. Hydraulic slotting technique is an effective method to stimulate the coal reservoir, but the selection of slotting key parameters has great impact on gas extraction efficiency. For this reason, the hydraulic slotting model was established by using FLAC3D software to analyze the stress distribution before and after slotting. Then, the influence of borehole diameter, slotting width, and slotting length on coal seam stress relief is also discussed. The results show that the slotting width has a great influence on the stress relief of the coal seam, while the borehole diameter and slotting length have no obvious influence on that. Based on the results of numerical simulation, field tests were carried out in Sangshuping NO.2 coal mine. The results show that the coal seam stress can be fully released, resulting in the improvement of coal seam permeability. The gas extraction efficiency can be highly enhanced by hydraulic slotting. This research achievement provides the guidance basis for high-stress water jet slotting technology with adaptive selection of slotting parameters in different geological conditions.

As coal mining gradually extends deeper, coal seams in China generally show high stress, high gas pressure and low permeability, bringing more difficulty to coal mining. Therefore, in order to strengthen gas extraction, it is necessary to carry out reservoir reconstruction after deep coal seams reached. In this paper, the distribution and evolution laws of fracture zone overlaying strata of J15 seam in Pingdingshan No. 10 coal mine after excavation were studied by combining similar simulation and numerical simulation, meanwhile, the gas transport law within fracture zone was numerically simulated. The results show that the fracture zone reaches a maximum of 350 mm in the vertical direction and is 75 mm away from W9,10 coal seams in vertical distance. Since W9,10 coal seams are in an area greatly affected by the bending zone of J15 coal seam under the influence of mining, the mining of J15 coal seam will exert a strong permeability enhancement effect on W9,10 coal seams. The J15 coal seam can act as a long-distance protective layer of W9,10 coal seams to eliminate the outburst danger of the long-distance coal seams in bending zone with coal and gas outburst danger, thereby achiev?ing safe, productive and efficient integrated mining of coal and gas resources. The gas flux of mining-induced fractures in the trapezoidal stage of mining-induced fracture field is far greater than that in the overlaying stratum matrix. The horizontal separation fractures and vertical broken fractures within the mining-induced fracture field act as passages for gas-flow. Compared with gas transport in the overlaying stratum matrix, the horizontal separation fractures and vertical broken fractures within the mining-induced fracture field play a role in guiding gas-flow. The research results can provide theoretical support for the arrangement of high-level gas extraction boreholes in roof fracture zones.

Abstract Gas extraction is an important topic because of poor permeability and high gas seam in coal mines. A new method for reducing stress and improving permeability of coal seam was proposed to reduce the cost of gas extraction and danger of coal and gas outbursts. In this method, the roadway in coal floor was replaced with directional main borehole, directional branch boreholes were used to replace crossing holes, and soft coal was mined along soft sub layers using a directional drilling machine and a directional hydraulic jet. The numerical simulation showed that the porosity and permeability of coal seam significantly improve after soft sub layers being removed by the directional hydraulic jet. The application of the proposed method and its supporting equipment was carried out under the special gas conditions of Hudi Coal Mine. Results show that the soft coal is mined efficiently along the soft sub layer using the main borehole, branch boreholes, and directional hydraulic jet. Compared the hydraulic punching in the borehole with the ordinary drilling machine, the average speed of mining soft sub layers increased from 0.5 t/h to 3.6 t/h, the equivalent diameter of mining soft sub layers increased from 1.2 m to 7.6m, and the average flow of gas extraction increased from 0.41 m3/d to 6.25 m3/d. The conclusions obtained in this study can provide a reference to the similar coal mining methods.

In order to solve the problem of difficult gas extraction in coal mine, a method of gas extraction from coal seam by interval hydraulic flushing is put forward. Based on the coal seam gas occurrence conditions of 7609 working face in Wuyang Coal Mine, the numerical simulation research on gas drainage by ordinary drilling and hydraulic flushing drilling was carried out by using COMSOL numerical simulation software. The results show that with the increase of hydraulic flushing coal quantity, the effective gas drainage radius also increases. The effective extraction radius of ordinary drilling is 0.5 m, and the effective extraction radius is 1.0 m, 1.2 m and 1.3 m respectively when the coal flushing quantity is 0.5t/m, 1.0t/m and 1.5t/m. As multiple boreholes are drained at the same time, the boreholes will affect each other, which will reduce the gas pressure and increase the effective drainage radius, the spacing between boreholes can be greater than twice the effective drainage radius of a single borehole when arranging boreholes. And the smaller the flushing interval, the more uniform the gas pressure reduction area. According to the numerical simulation results, the ordinary drilling and 1.0t/m interval hydraulic flushing test were carried out in the field. Through observation and analysis, the gas concentration of the interval hydraulic flushing drilling module was increased by 31.2% and the drainage purity was increased by 5.77 times compared with the ordinary drilling module. It shows that the interval hydraulic flushing drilling can effectively improve the gas drainage effect.
