Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of coal mining and coal mine safety, and relates to a method for measuring coal seam gas pressure and collaborative investigation of regional extraction effects. Background Art

[0002] In order to investigate the gas parameters and regional gas pre-extraction effects in mining areas of high-gas coal seams or protruding coal seams, the gas pressure drop method or gas content drop method is generally used for investigation. A pressure measurement borehole is constructed in the bottom rock tunnel below the coal seam to measure the original gas pressure, gas content and other parameters of the coal seam in the specified area. Then, a pre-extraction borehole is designed and constructed to extract the coal seam gas in the mining area. After a certain period of extraction, in order to investigate the effect of coal seam gas extraction, it is necessary to drill again to measure the residual gas pressure or gas content data at different extraction times. However, this method has the following disadvantages:

[0003] (1) The gas content reduction method is a commonly used method to examine the effect of coal seam pre-extraction. It has the advantage of a simple measurement method. The disadvantage is that it requires at least two arrangements of personnel and drilling rigs to construct the original gas content test borehole and the residual gas content test borehole respectively, and it is impossible to examine the changes in the residual gas content and the changes in the coal seam gas pre-extraction rate in real time.

[0004] (2) When the gas pressure drop method is used to examine the effect of coal seam pre-extraction, the excavation of the bottom rock roadway will form a certain range of damaged areas and crack development areas around the roadway. Relying solely on the pressure measurement drilling and sealing grouting cannot seal the surrounding cracks tightly, which will lead to inaccurate gas pressure measurement results, thereby affecting the evaluation results of coal seam gas pre-extraction effect. In addition, since the original gas pressure measurement borehole cannot be drilled within 50m around the extraction borehole, it is necessary to wait until the pressure measurement link is completed before constructing the extraction borehole. The pressure test time of low permeability coal seams is generally at least 20 days, which will affect the construction progress of the pre-extraction drilling of the overlying coal seam and cause the extraction time difference coefficient to be high, exacerbating the tension of mining and excavation succession. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a method for measuring coal seam gas pressure and collaborative investigation of regional extraction effects, so as to improve the efficiency of extraction effect investigation and shorten the gas control period.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A method for measuring coal seam gas pressure and collaboratively investigating regional extraction effects comprises the following steps: first, constructing regional pre-extraction boreholes, grouting the pre-extraction boreholes as a whole to seal the fissures between the bottom rock tunnel and the overlying coal seam, then constructing pressure measurement boreholes, and carrying out coal seam gas pre-extraction after the pressure measurement work is completed. The extraction effect is analyzed and the coal seam gas pre-extraction rate is calculated based on the gas pressure drop.

[0008] Optionally, the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0009] S1: Within a strip of at least 15m on both sides of the roadway contour line of the bottom rock roadway, pre-drainage drilling holes are constructed in the bottom rock roadway. The spacing and row spacing of the pre-drainage drilling holes are arranged according to twice the extraction radius R. After the pre-drainage drilling holes are completed, the extraction screen pipe is inserted into the entire pre-drainage drilling hole, and then grouting is performed to seal the hole. The grouting liquid enters the original rock area and cracks from the pre-drainage drilling hole to form an overall grouting area.

[0010] S2 After the pre-drainage borehole grouting and sealing is completed, a drainage valve is installed at the orifice of the pre-drainage borehole, and the pre-drainage borehole is connected to the main drainage pipeline. The drainage valve is kept closed to ensure the gas pressure balance inside the pre-drainage borehole;

[0011] S3 After all pre-drainage drilling is completed, pressure testing holes are constructed in the overall grouting area. The spacing and row spacing of the pressure testing holes are 30-50m. Pressure testing tubes are inserted into the pressure testing holes and the holes are sealed. The sealing method is the same as that of the pre-drainage drilling holes. After the slurry solidifies, a pressure gauge is installed at the orifice of the pressure testing hole to measure the original gas pressure P of the coal seam until the pressure is stable for more than 7 days.

[0012] After the pressure test in S4 is completed, the extraction valves of all pre-extraction boreholes are opened to start joint extraction, and the dynamic gas pressure P1 of the pressure test borehole is monitored. The real-time pre-extraction rate η of the coal seam is calculated according to the formula (P-P1) / P to evaluate the pre-extraction effect of the coal seam.

[0013] Optionally, the pre-drilled holes are sealed by grouting using the "two blocking and one injection" method.

[0014] Optionally, all rock sections of the extraction borehole are sealed by grouting, and the final grouting hole pressure is not less than 6MPa.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: pre-extraction boreholes are first constructed around the pressure measuring boreholes, and the sealing grouting effect of the pre-extraction boreholes forms a fracture closure zone around the pressure measuring boreholes in advance, which can ensure the accuracy of the gas pressure measurement results. At the same time, the gas pressure drop during the pre-extraction process can be measured in real time, and the real-time pre-extraction rate of each stage can be mastered, thereby realizing dynamic evaluation of the gas pre-extraction effect in the area, improving the efficiency of the extraction effect inspection, and shortening the gas control period.

The objects and other advantages of the present invention may be realized and obtained through the following description. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] See Figures 1 to 3 A method for measuring coal seam gas pressure and collaboratively investigating regional extraction effects involves constructing a regional pre-extraction borehole 3. Grouting is then performed throughout the pre-extraction borehole 3 to seal the fissure between the floor rock tunnel 2 and the overlying coal seam 1. A pressure measurement borehole 10 is then constructed. After the pressure measurement is completed, pre-extraction of coal seam gas is performed. The extraction effect is analyzed based on the gas pressure drop, and the pre-extraction rate of coal seam gas is calculated. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0026] (1) Within a strip of at least 15 m on both sides of the bottom rock tunnel 2 in the coal seam 1, through-layer pre-drainage boreholes 3 are constructed in the bottom rock tunnel 2. The borehole spacing and row spacing are arranged according to twice the extraction radius R. After the pre-drainage borehole 3 is completed, the extraction screen pipe 4 is lowered into the pre-drainage borehole 3 throughout the entire length. The "two plugging and one injection" method is used for grouting and sealing, that is, a plug is formed at both ends of the sealing section using a sealer, and then the sealing material is injected into the middle section. The grouting liquid penetrates from the pipe wall of the pre-drainage borehole 3 into the original rock area 5 and the fissure 6, forming a fissure overall grouting area 7.

[0027] Grouting is carried out to seal the entire rock section of the extraction borehole, and the final grouting hole pressure is not less than 6MPa.

[0028] (2) After the grouting and sealing of the pre-drainage borehole 3 is completed, an extraction valve 8 is installed at the orifice of the pre-drainage borehole 3, and the pre-drainage borehole 4 is connected to the extraction main pipeline 9, and the extraction valve 8 is kept in a closed state to ensure the gas pressure balance inside the pre-drainage borehole 3.

[0029] (3) After the pre-drainage boreholes 3 are all completed, pressure-testing boreholes 10 are constructed in the overall grouting area 7. The spacing and row spacing of the pressure-testing boreholes 10 are 30 to 50 m. Pressure-testing tubes 11 are inserted into the pressure-testing boreholes 10. The sealing method is the same as that of the pre-drainage boreholes 4. The final grouting pressure is not less than 6 MPa. After the slurry solidifies, a pressure gauge 12 is installed at the orifice of the pressure-testing borehole 10 to measure the original gas pressure P of the coal seam until the pressure remains stable for more than 7 days.

[0030] (4) After the pressure test is completed, the extraction valves 8 of all pre-extraction boreholes 4 are opened to start joint extraction, and the dynamic gas pressure P1 of the pressure test borehole 10 is monitored. The real-time pre-extraction rate η of the coal seam is calculated according to the formula (P-P1) / P to evaluate the pre-extraction effect of the coal seam.

[0031] The present invention adjusts the construction procedures of pressure measuring drilling holes and extraction drilling holes. The extraction drilling holes are first constructed as a whole, and an overall grouting area is formed around the pressure measuring drilling holes to be constructed to ensure the accuracy of the gas pressure measurement results, realize the coordinated investigation of the regional extraction effect of coal seam gas, improve the efficiency of the extraction effect investigation, and shorten the gas control construction period.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not limiting. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
