A method for combining integrated drilling, flushing and slotting with thermal injection to enhance coalbed gas extraction, applicable to managing gas extraction from microporous, low-permeability, high-adsorption coalbed areas. A gas extraction borehole is drilled within a certain distance of a predetermined drilling, flushing and slotting borehole, and, once sealed, is used for gas extraction. An integrated drilling, flushing and slotting
drill bit is used to sink the borehole, which is then sealed. Concentration variation in the gas extraction borehole is monitored in real time, and when concentration is below 30%, borehole is opened and high-temperature steam is injected by means of a steam generator, after which the borehole is again closed. Drilling a drilling, flushing and slotting borehole increases pressure relief space and the surface of exposed
coal, relieves stress on the
coal body, and increases gas permeability of the coalbed, while the injection of high-temperature steam promotes gas
desorption in the
coal body, promotes crack propagation around the borehole, and increases channels for gas flow, thus achieving highly efficient extraction of gas from the coalbed.
