Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of advanced prevention and control of rock burst disasters in steeply inclined coal seams, and more particularly to an advanced prevention and control method for rock burst in steeply inclined coal seams based on ground inclined shaft fracturing. BACKGROUND

[0002] In coal mining, coal seams with a dip angle greater than 45° are generally classified as steeply inclined coal seams. Such coal seams are widely distributed in China, accounting for about 15-20% of the total coal reserves in the country. In the western and southwestern mining areas, more than 50% of the main coal seams in the mines are steeply inclined coal seams. Due to complex geological conditions and stress environments, rock burst dynamic disasters frequently occur during the mining of steeply inclined coal seams, seriously restricting the safe and efficient mining of steeply inclined coal seams.

[0003] At present, the prevention and control technologies for rock burst in steeply inclined coal seams are mainly concentrated in the underground mine, including local concentrated stress relief and stope rock burst prevention and support. Local concentrated stress relief generally uses underground hydraulic fracturing and deep hole blasting to damage the integrity of the surrounding rock, inducing the release of the accumulated elastic energy of the surrounding rock, thereby eliminating local stress concentration and avoiding rock burst. Stope rock burst prevention and support usually uses roadway rock burst prevention and support structure, rock burst prevention hydraulic support, and high-strength anchor rod (cable) to strengthen the ability of the stope to resist rock burst. These two prevention and control technologies can control the occurrence of rock burst in steeply inclined coal seams to a certain extent, but they have certain limitations. With the increase of mining depth and intensity, the impact source is often far from the coal seam. Due to the limitations of the operating environment and equipment, the control effect of underground hydraulic fracturing and deep hole blasting is poor and the control range is limited. Rock burst still occurs after these technologies are applied to deep steeply inclined coal seam mining. In addition, the existing stope rock burst prevention and support equipment is a passive defense, which cannot eliminate rock burst from the source and cannot guarantee the control effect.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a new method for preventing and controlling rock burst in steeply inclined coal seams with good control effect and wide control range, which is of great significance to the safe and efficient mining of steeply inclined coal seams.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 , the present application discloses an advanced prevention and control method for rock burst in steeply inclined coal seams based on ground inclined well fracturing, comprising the following steps:

[0043] The corresponding relationship between the breaking and migration of the rock stratum and the dynamic load coefficient K d of the hydraulic support is analyzed to determine the target fracturing layer.

[0044] An inclined well is drilled downward at an inclination angle α in the target fracturing layer.

[0045] Specifically, a vertical well is drilled vertically downward from the surface of a horizontal non-mining working face to a target fracturing layer, stress relief method is used to test the three-dimensional stress state of the target fracturing layer, and casing is used for cementing after the vertical well is cemented.

[0046] A numerical model is constructed, and a random polygon map is used to divide the target fracturing layer and the upper and lower rock layers in the numerical model into grids to complete the construction of the numerical model.

[0047] The target fracturing layer in the numerical model is simulated and calculated by ground fracturing inclined wells, and the fracturing parameters are optimized and determined.

[0048] A high-energy directional perforating gun is used to vertically fracture the inclined well direction, and the target fracturing layer is segmented perforated at an inclination angle β.

[0049] The perforated section is sealed and fractured until the entire fracturing of the target fracturing layer is completed.

[0050] Specifically, the rock layer that breaks and moves when the dynamic load coefficient of the hydraulic support is greater than K0 is determined as the target fracturing layer, K0 is related to the distance h between the target fracturing layer and the coal seam, and the relationship is:

[0051]

[0052] In order to ensure the accuracy of the determination of the target fracturing layer, neither is it selected too much nor is it selected too much, and the fracturing cost is effectively reduced.

[0053] Specifically, the target fracturing layer is segmented perforated at an inclination angle β, and the segmented distance is L.

[0055] Further, the mechanical experiments include: uniaxial and triaxial compression experiments, three-point shear experiments and Brazilian splitting experiments.

[0056] Further, the relationship between σ0 and H is:

[0057]

[0059] Further, the dynamic load coefficient K dThe relationship between the maximum average resistance P1 of the support periodic compression and the maximum average resistance P2 of the support non-periodic compression is as follows:

[0060] Further, the inclination angle a is related to the inclination angle of the target fracturing layer perpendicular to the working face advancing direction, and the relationship is as follows: a = 1.

[0061] Specifically, in order to ensure that the fracturing inclined well can be parallel to the target fracturing layer and always inside the target fracturing layer, the fracturing effect of the target fracturing layer is improved.

[0062] Further, the random polygon graph is subjected to centroid processing by Python language programming before being imported into the numerical model.

[0063] Specifically, in order to ensure the convergence of the numerical model calculation and effectively reduce the calculation time.

[0064] Further, the specific content of constructing the numerical model is as follows:

[0065] According to the physical and mechanical parameters of each rock layer, a numerical model is established based on the ABAQUS numerical simulation platform. The target fracturing layer and the upper and lower rock layers in the numerical model are meshed by an externally imported random polygon graph. Based on Python language programming, the element face set is searched and constructed. The face set is inserted into the Cohesive element. The Cohesive element parameters are determined according to the physical and mechanical parameters of each rock layer. The remaining rock layers are meshed by the platform's own hexahedral mesh. According to the three-dimensional stress state of the target fracturing layer, the boundary state of the numerical model is applied, and the construction of the numerical model is completed.

[0066] Further, the inclination angle b is related to the inclination angle of the target fracturing layer parallel to the working face advancing direction, and the relationship is as follows: b = 2.

[0067] Specifically, in order to ensure that the fracturing fracture can be parallel to the working face advancing direction and the target fracturing layer expands, the fracturing effect is effectively improved.

[0068] Further, the fracturing parameters include: fracturing pump station pressure P, pump station displacement V.

[0069] Specifically, the segment distance L and the fracturing pump station pressure P are related to the target fracturing layer's Prowl's coefficient f, and the relationship is as follows: In order to ensure the fracturing effect and reduce the fracturing cost.
