Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coal mining, in particular to a coal mine water drainage quantity prediction and drilling site optimization design method based on a neural network. BACKGROUND

[0002] Coal occupies a pivotal position in China's energy structure and is a key energy source for ensuring national energy security and stable economic development. For a long time, coal has been the main energy source in China, providing indispensable power support for industrial production, power supply and many other fields. With the sustained development of the economy, the demand for coal resources is increasing, which has led to the expansion of the scale and depth of coal mining. However, as the depth of mining continues to increase, the geological conditions of coal mining become increasingly complex, and water damage problems become increasingly prominent, becoming an important factor restricting the safety and efficient production of coal mines.

[0003] In the process of coal mining, underground water, goaf water, surface water and other water sources are extremely prone to water damage accidents under the combined action of complex geological structures, rock properties and other factors. These water damage not only causes serious damage to the production equipment of the coal mine, but also threatens the safety of the miners, causing huge economic losses and social impact to the coal mining enterprises. In order to effectively prevent and control the occurrence of water damage accidents and ensure the safety of coal mining, water drainage work is particularly important. Through water drainage, the water pressure and water level of the aquifer can be reduced, and the possibility of water damage can be reduced, creating a safe working environment for coal mining.

[0004] In the process of coal mining, the drainage of the aquifer in the coal seam roof and floor is one of the core measures to prevent and control water damage. The purpose of water drainage is to reduce the water pressure of the aquifer through borehole drainage to prevent water inrush accidents. However, the successful implementation of water drainage engineering depends on accurate water quantity prediction and scientific drilling site design. Traditional water drainage quantity prediction methods mainly rely on empirical formulas (such as the large well method, analytical method) or static geological models, which are difficult to adapt to complex and variable geological conditions. For example, in sand and mudstone alternating strata, the permeability of sandstone and mudstone differs significantly, and the traditional method cannot accurately quantify the influence of sand and mudstone proportion and its category division (such as the permeability difference between brittle sandstone and plastic mudstone) on water drainage quantity, resulting in large prediction errors. In addition, existing drilling site design mostly uses fixed drilling spacing and layout mode, lacking dynamic analysis of the spatial occurrence characteristics of the coal seam roof and floor (such as heterogeneity, fracture development degree), leading to unreasonable drilling layout, low drainage efficiency or serious resource waste.

[0005] Currently, the main problems of drilling site design are as follows:

[0006] Insufficient geological parameter modeling: Traditional methods lack quantitative analysis of sand-shale ratio and its classification, making it difficult to accurately reflect the impact of lithologic heterogeneity on drainage path.

[0007] Poor design flexibility: Existing solutions cannot dynamically adjust drilling parameters based on real-time geological data such as sand-shale interbed thickness and lithologic interface changes, resulting in suboptimal drainage effect.

[0008] Lack of multi-factor coupling: Traditional methods do not fully consider the synergistic effect of sand-shale classification and hydrogeological conditions, lacking precise modeling of drainage path under complex geological conditions.

[0009] Low intelligence: Existing technologies rely heavily on human experience and lack data-driven intelligent optimization methods, making it difficult to adapt to drainage needs under complex geological conditions.

[0010] Existing technologies have not addressed the deep integration of sand-shale classification, spatial occurrence characteristics, and dynamic hydrological monitoring data, and lack an intelligent method that can integrate drainage volume prediction and drilling layout optimization. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can overcome the above deficiencies and has high precision and flexibility to meet the needs of coal mine water disaster prevention under complex geological conditions. SUMMARY

[0011] To address the above technical deficiencies, the present invention provides a coal mine drainage volume prediction and drilling field optimization design method based on neural networks, which can solve the deficiencies of traditional drilling field design methods in terms of geological parameter limitations, design rigidity, and lack of multi-factor coupling. This method includes sand-shale classification and spatial occurrence characteristics in the neural network input layer, solving the problem of insufficient modeling of lithologic heterogeneity in traditional methods. By dynamically coupling the prediction and design stages, real-time optimization of drilling parameters is achieved, significantly improving the universality and flexibility of the technology.

[0021] (8) Dynamic coupling: Dynamically couple water drainage prediction and drilling field optimization design, and adjust drilling parameters according to real-time geological conditions.

[0022] Preferably, in the data collection stage of step (1), the geological exploration data covers detailed information of different depths and different regions, and is updated regularly every day to reflect the dynamic changes of the geological conditions in the mining area.

[0023] Preferably, in step (1), the spatial occurrence feature data includes sandstone and mudstone alternating layer thickness, lithological interface change and thin mudstone layer merging threshold value, wherein the thin mudstone layer merging threshold value is a set thickness value, and when the thickness of the thin mudstone layer is lower than the threshold value, the thin mudstone layer is merged with other thick rock layers. The thickness of the mudstone layer is less than 1m, and the ratio of sandstone and mudstone is greater than 5:1, so the mudstone is classified into sandstone.

[0024] Preferably, in step (5), the model training adopts a dynamic learning rate adjustment strategy to automatically adjust the learning rate according to the training progress to accelerate the convergence.

[0025] Preferably, in step (7), the reinforcement learning algorithm adopts a particle swarm optimization algorithm to search for the optimal drilling parameter combination in a high-dimensional solution space through a particle swarm, and the objective function is to maximize the drainage efficiency and minimize the drilling cost.

[0026] Preferably, in real-time adjustment of the drilling parameters in step (8), a monitoring data feedback mechanism is established to trigger the adjustment process of the drilling field design parameters when significant changes in the geological conditions are detected.

[0027] Preferably, the particle position updating formula in the particle swarm optimization algorithm is:

[0028]

[0029] wherein, is the current position of the i-th particle in the t-th generation, is the current position of the particle in the t+1-th generation;

[0030] The particle velocity updating formula is:

[0033] Preferably, the influence radius of the water drainage amount is determined based on the following formula:

[0034]

[0035] wherein: Q is set as the underground water drainage amount, M0 is the groundwater recharge index, and the value of M0 is 0.3-1.0 L / s·km 2 , and M0 is 0.5 L / s·km 2 .

[0036] Preferably, an optimization objective function is constructed with the goals of maximizing the drainage efficiency and minimizing the drilling cost, and the drilling spacing, depth and layout mode are dynamically adjusted through the reinforcement learning algorithm.

[0037] The present application has the following advantages:

[0038] 1. The traditional method relies on empirical formula and static geological model, and it is difficult to deal with complex geological conditions, resulting in low prediction accuracy of water drainage amount. The present application introduces a spatial occurrence characteristic quantitative model and a convolutional neural network, which can deeply analyze the formation characteristics such as sandstone-mudstone ratio and lithology category, and combine a bidirectional long short-term memory network to dynamically learn historical and real-time data, capture the time sequence characteristics and dynamic change law of the data, thereby significantly improving the prediction accuracy of the water drainage amount.

[0039] 2、The existing drilling field design mostly adopts a fixed mode, and lacks dynamic response to changes in geological conditions.

[0040] 3、The traditional method is insufficient for modeling the lithologic heterogeneity, and it is difficult to accurately reflect the influence of sandstone and mudstone ratio and category division on the drainage water path.

[0041] 4、The existing technology does not fully consider the deep integration of sandstone and mudstone category division, spatial occurrence characteristics and dynamic hydrological monitoring data, and the intelligent degree is low.
