Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of coal mine safety, and relates to a hydraulic fracturing parameter optimization method in a coal mine underground. BACKGROUND
[0002] Deep coal seams have characteristics of high and low temperature and high surrounding rock strength. The high and low temperature leads to high temperature in the goaf and short spontaneous combustion time of residual coal. The high surrounding rock strength leads to hard roof type rock burst disaster risk, such as Figure 1 as shown in the figure.
[0003] Hydraulic fracturing is a new technology in the field of coal mine safety. The technology can be used in various application scenarios in the field of coal mine safety, such as coal seam hydraulic fracturing gas pre-drainage and hard roof weakening disaster control engineering.
[0004] The application of hydraulic fracturing to deep coal seam hard roof increases the crushing and swelling rate of the hard roof. On the one hand, it can make the falling rock fill the goaf to provide support for the overlying main roof and relieve the hard roof type rock burst disaster risk. On the other hand, the crushed roof formed by hydraulic fracturing can form a cover layer for the residual coal in the goaf, reduce the air leakage intensity, and prolong the spontaneous combustion period of the residual coal in the goaf. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a hard roof weakening and coal spontaneous combustion prevention and control method for high temperature working face, so as to reduce the amount of disaster engineering, increase the disaster control effect, and realize the collaborative control of multiple disasters.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A hard roof weakening and coal spontaneous combustion prevention and control method for high temperature working face, comprising the following steps:
[0008] Step 1: carry out drilling design, and the design parameters include:
[0009] Drilling horizontal section height: designed in the middle of the hard roof rock layer;
[0010] Drilling hole spacing L d and segment spacing L s : the drilling hole spacing L d and the fracturing segment spacing L s are consistent, and the formula is:
[0011]
[0012] In the formula, M is the working face mining height; H is the hard roof height; K is the swelling coefficient of the rock; a is the coal seam inclination angle; and β is the natural accumulation angle of the fire-retardant filling material.
[0013] Injection amount V of fire-retardant filling material of each fracturing section 灌注 :
[0014]
[0015] In the formula, h m is the height of the filling of the fire-retardant material, β is the natural pile-up angle of the fire-retardant filling material, τ is the setting time of the fire-retardant material, c is a constant, is the void ratio of the caved rock mass, V is the total volume of the fire-retardant filling material required for each section, ρ is the density of the rock stratum, η is the viscosity of the fire-retardant filling material, and t is time.
[0016] Step two, arranging the boreholes according to the design parameters, and carrying out the first section of hydraulic fracturing, the fracturing cracks penetrating the coal seam from the hard roof above the coal seam;
[0017] Step three, after the completion of the first section of fracturing, the working face is advanced to expose the fracturing cracks of the first section;
[0018] Step four, using the fracturing tubing, injecting the fire-retardant material into the goaf through the fracturing cracks to cover the residual coal and prevent the spontaneous combustion of the residual coal;
[0019] Step five, repeating the above steps to complete the subsequent hydraulic fracturing, and continuously injecting the fire-retardant material into the residual coal along the fracturing cracks; at the same time, due to the fracturing weakening of the hard roof and the partial filling of the goaf, the rock burst risk is relieved.
[0020] The present application also comprises the following technical features:
[0021] Specifically, whether the fracturing cracks penetrate the coal seam during the fracturing process is determined by the following method: after the fracture pressure is observed during the fracturing process, the pump pressure is suddenly reduced by 10%-50% under the stable state, and remains stable, which indicates that the fracturing cracks have penetrated the coal seam.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following technical effects:
[0023] 1. The present application can jointly relieve the rock burst disaster risk caused by the hard roof by using the two engineering means of segmented hydraulic fracturing of the hard roof and goaf filling, and the engineering effect is greatly improved compared with the single method of using the segmented hydraulic fracturing of the hard roof or the goaf filling for the hard roof type rock burst disaster management.
[0024] 2. On the one hand, the present application controls the break step distance of the overlying rock stratum by hydraulic fracturing, accelerates the settlement and crushing of the rock stratum, and reduces the oxygen concentration and air leakage intensity; on the other hand, the fire-retardant filling material is injected through the hydraulic fracturing borehole to relieve the risk of spontaneous combustion of the coal in the goaf.
[0025] 3、The application can be applied to less engineering quantity, and can simultaneously carry out the collaborative governance of hard roof type rock burst, goaf coal spontaneous combustion and other multiple disasters from the aspects of hard roof hydraulic fracturing and goaf grouting filling, improve the disaster governance effect and governance efficiency, reduce the engineering quantity, reduce the construction cost, increase the safety guarantee of coal mine enterprise workers, and the economic and social benefits are remarkable.

[0031] The application provides a hard roof weakening and collaborative coal spontaneous combustion prevention method for high-temperature working face, comprising the following steps:
[0032] Step one, carry out drilling design, and main design parameters include:
[0033] (1) Drilling horizontal section height: designed in the middle of hard roof rock stratum.
[0034] (2) Drilling hole spacing L d and section spacing L s (like Figure 2 ): drilling hole spacing L d and fracturing section spacing L s are consistent, and the design formula is as follows:
[0035]
[0036] In the formula, M is the working face mining height, H is the hard roof height, K is the crushing coefficient of rock, alpha is the coal seam inclination angle, and beta is the natural accumulation angle of the flame-retardant filling material.
[0037] (3) Injection amount V 灌注 of flame-retardant filling material in each fracturing section:
[0038]
[0039] V = Vr + Vf 损失 Vf = Vr - Vr (1 - λ) m H = M - (H - M) (K - 1) cos α c = c0 (1 - t / t0)
[0040] Specifically, the calculation of the key parameters in step 1 is as follows:
[0041] The roof rock caving filling height h r :
[0042] h r = (H - M) (K - 1) cos α
[0043] Thus, the height h m :
[0044] H m = M - (H - M) (K - 1) cos α
[0045] In the formula, H is the height of the fracturing borehole, i.e. the height of the hard roof; K is the rock fragmentation coefficient, which changes according to the nature of the rock itself, and can generally be taken as 1.2-1.3; α is the coal seam inclination angle; and M is the working face mining height.
[0046] The covering volume of the fire-retardant filling material is then calculated:
[0047]
[0048] In the formula, β is the natural accumulation angle of the fire-retardant filling material, which is determined by the material itself; and r is the radius of the fire-retardant filling material accumulation area;
[0049] The total volume of the fire-retardant filling material required for each section can be calculated from the above formula:
[0050]
[0051] On this basis, since there are voids in the caved rock mass, the calculation of the volume of the fire-retardant material needs to take into account the loss coefficient λ, which is related to the void ratio of the caved rock mass, the viscosity η of the fire-retardant filling material, and the setting time τ of the fire-retardant material. The calculation method is as follows:
[0052] The relationship between the void ratio and the permeability k can be calculated by the cubic law:
[0053]
[0054] In the formula, c is a constant obtained from rock sampling tests;
[0055] Further:
[0056]
[0057] where Q is the volume of retardant lost per unit time; A is the area of the retardant in contact with the caving mass, A = πcotβh m ; p is the pressure acting on the contact surface, D is the depth of the retardant into the voids of the caving mass, t is time (variable).
[0058] Thus, the volume of retardant lost during the solidification time τ of the retardant is:
[0059]
[0060] Thus, the volume of each section of injection is:
[0061]
[0062] At the same time, the spacing between the fracturing sections and the spacing between the holes can be optimized:
[0063]
[0064] At this point, the optimization of the fracturing engineering design parameters is completed.
[0065] Step two, arrange the boreholes according to the design parameters, carry out the first section of hydraulic fracturing, and the fracturing cracks penetrate the coal seam from the hard roof above the coal seam; during the fracturing process, whether it penetrates the coal seam is determined by the following method:
[0066] During the fracturing process, after observing the fracture pressure, suddenly reduce 10%-50% (this data is summarized from the analysis of a large number of hydraulic fracturing curves) under stable pumping pressure, and keep stable, which indicates that the fracturing cracks have penetrated the coal seam.
[0067] Step three, after completing the first section of fracturing, the working face advances and exposes the first section of fracturing cracks;
[0068] Step four, use the fracturing tubing to inject retardant into the goaf through the fracturing cracks to cover the residual coal and prevent spontaneous combustion of the residual coal; as Figure 3 shown.
[0069] Step five, repeat the above steps to complete the subsequent hydraulic fracturing and continue to inject retardant into the residual coal along the fracturing cracks; at the same time, due to the weakening of the hard roof and the partial filling of the goaf, the risk of rock burst is alleviated. As Figure 4 shown.
[0070] The following gives specific embodiments of the present application, it is to be noted that the present application is not limited to the following specific embodiments, any equivalent transformation made on the basis of the technical scheme of the present application falls within the protection scope of the present application.

[0078]
[0079] (2) Drilling hole spacing L d and segment spacing L s : drilling hole spacing L d and segment spacing L s consistent, the design formula is:
[0080]
[0081] In the formula, M is the mining height of the working face; H is the height of the hard roof; K is the dilatancy coefficient of the rock; α is the coal seam inclination angle; β is the natural accumulation angle of the flame-retardant filling material.
[0082] (3) The injection amount V of flame-retardant filling material in each fracturing section 灌注
[0083]
[0084] V 灌注 = 297 m 3 + 14.60 m 3 = 311.6 m 3
[0085] Step two, arrange the drilling according to the design parameters, and carry out the first stage of hydraulic fracturing. The fracturing cracks should penetrate the coal seam from the hard roof above the coal seam. During the fracturing process, the following methods can be used to determine whether the coal seam is penetrated:
[0086] During the fracturing process, it was observed that after the fracture pressure (i.e. the peak value of the pressure curve) reached 30 MPa, the pressure curve stabilized at 25 MPa, and after a period of time, it suddenly decreased to 20 MPa and remained stable, indicating that the fracturing cracks had penetrated the coal seam.
[0087] Step three, after completing the first stage of fracturing, the working face advances, exposing the first stage of fracturing cracks.
[0088] Step four, using fracturing tubing, inject fire-retardant material into the goaf through the fracturing cracks to cover the residual coal and prevent spontaneous combustion of the residual coal.
[0089] Step five, repeat the above steps to complete the subsequent hydraulic fracturing, and continue to inject fire-retardant material into the residual coal along the fracturing cracks. At the same time, due to the weakening of the hard roof and the partial filling of the goaf, the risk of rock burst is alleviated.
