TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coal and gas outburst prevention and control, and particularly relates to a method for increasing the permeability of a local structure developed outburst coal seam. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increase of the depth of coal mining, the gas permeability of the coal seam is reduced synchronously, and the probability of coal and gas outburst also increases. The core measure for preventing and controlling coal and gas outburst accidents is to reduce the gas content in the coal seam to below the safety threshold, so it is necessary to prevent and control mine dynamic disasters from the perspective of efficient gas extraction and effective pressure relief of the coal seam.

[0003] Due to the complex structure of the local structure developed outburst coal seam, the disaster-causing mechanism thereof is more complex than that of the conventional coal seam. When the gas extraction is performed, the method for increasing the permeability of the coal seam (such as hydraulic fracturing) commonly used at the present stage cannot effectively solve the problem of poor gas permeability of the coal seam, resulting in long gas extraction time, poor effect, and small effective influence range. Therefore, a large number of drill holes need to be arranged in the area where the gas extraction is performed, which increases the construction amount and is not conducive to the fully mechanized production of the coal mine.

[0011] Further, The coal body mechanical parameter calibration is respectively performed on the tectonic coal simulation area and the non-tectonic coal simulation area of the coal seam permeability improvement numerical model, and the following steps are performed: I. A biaxial compression model is constructed in the PFC 2D software, the biaxial compression model is set as a rectangle with a size of 150 mm x 75 mm; the biaxial compression model is not provided with a borehole and a slitting, and other model parameters are the same as those of the particle assembly model; II.

[0013] Based on the above technical scheme, the method disclosed by the application has the following beneficial effects: 1. The coal seam permeability method disclosed by the application can realize cutting-pressure permeability by cutting the coal seam, form macroscopic slots and a large number of secondary cracks in the coal seam, form a gas flow path, realize annular network flow self-unloading pressure between drill holes, generate a large number of fine cracks and realize coal seam pressure relief. Hydraulic fracturing of the coal seam can penetrate the fine cracks in the coal seam and form more complex crack channels. Hydraulic cutting of the coal seam and then hydraulic fracturing permeability can greatly improve the overall permeability coefficient of the coal body, improve the gas extraction effect, and eliminate the occurrence of coal and gas outburst.

[0014] 2. During the coal-forming period, the coal seam is subjected to magma rock intrusion, and due to geological movement, local positions of the coal seam are dislocated, small faults that are difficult to detect exist in the coal seam, the gas content in the local area of the coal seam is high, the mechanical strength of the coal body is low, and the permeability is poor. When the working face advances to the vicinity of such coal body, the coal body in the area is disturbed by mining, which increases the gas migration channel, and the coal body has strong gas diffusion capacity, so that a large amount of gas flows to the mining working face, increasing the gas concentration of the working face and the return airway. The coal seam permeability method disclosed by the application can further improve the overall gas extraction effect of the coal seam, eliminate the outburst danger of the coal seam, reduce the drilling construction amount, and realize effective drainage of gas in the hidden "coal bag type" structure soft coal body with poor gas migration capacity.

[0015] 3. The coal seam permeability method disclosed by the application takes a coal mine field test as an example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the drainage radius of drainage borehole 1 for 120d is 2.23m, the drainage radius of drainage borehole 2 for 120d is 2.15m, and the average original gas drainage radius is 2.19m. After the “cutting-pressing-expanding” composite permeability enhancement technology, the effective drainage radius of permeability hole 1 for 120d is 6.04m, which is increased by 3.81m compared with the original coal seam calculation value; the effective drainage radius of permeability hole 2 for 120d is 6.15m, which is increased by 4.00m compared with the original coal seam calculation value. The average drainage radius of coal seam is 6.095m, which is increased by 3.905m compared with the original coal seam calculation value, and is increased by 178.31%.

[0016] 4. The permeability of the coal seam after the “cutting-pressing-expanding” permeability enhancement is tested, and the change of the permeability of the coal seam before and after the “cutting-pressing-expanding” permeability enhancement is compared, so as to realize the numerical quantitative evaluation of the fracturing effect. The evaluation results are shown in the following figure and Table 1 (note: the values in Table 1 are not fixed values, but the average values after multiple tests): Table 1 Simulation of coal seam permeability after fracturing , The results show that the permeability of the coal seam after permeability enhancement is significantly improved. The permeability of the coal seam before “cutting-pressing” permeability enhancement is 3.846x10-18m 2 , the permeability of the coal seam after permeability enhancement is 48.075x10-18m 2 , which is about 12.5 times the original coal seam permeability, and the permeability of the coal seam after “cutting-pressing-expanding” permeability enhancement is 65.843x10-18m 2 , which is about 17.1 times the original coal seam, which shows that the “cutting-pressing” and “cutting-pressing-expanding” permeability enhancement technologies have good permeability enhancement effect, and the “cutting-pressing-expanding” permeability enhancement technology has more significant permeability enhancement effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this disclosure or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains.

[0020] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0021] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as a limitation; therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0022] This embodiment describes a method for increasing the permeability of locally sculpted and outburst-prone coal seams. Figure 1 The flowchart of this method is given, which includes the following steps.

[0023] S1, to open gas drainage boreholes at a set location in the coal and rock mass, including cross-layer boreholes or in-layer boreholes; S2, with the borehole as the center, multiple slits are made outward from the borehole according to the set width and length on the coal seam section of the borehole, as follows: S201 uses low-pressure water and utilizes a mining drilling rig to drive the hydraulic slit shallow spiral integral drill rod, high-low pressure conversion slitter and diamond composite drill bit to rotate and drill to the set position of the borehole. S202, turn on the ultra-high pressure clean water pump, output ultra-high pressure water jet with set pressure and flow rate, and form a jet by shooting out through the nozzle on the high-low pressure conversion cutter to cut and impact the coal seam in the drilled coal section, forming an irregular flat groove with a certain width and length in the coal body.

[0024] S3, based on the drill hole with slits formed in step S2, dynamic pressure fracturing is performed on the coal seam at the drill hole by setting the fracturing frequency and water injection flow rate.

[0025] Dynamic pressure fracturing uses high pressure and large flow dynamic pressure high pressure water to repeatedly act on coal body in a short time, which causes coal body to expand and shrink continuously, leading to fatigue failure of coal body, weakening of strong surface of coal body, further extension of weak surface of coal body, and thus achieving the purpose of increasing the degree of coal body fracture and enhancing the connectivity of coal body fracture.

[0026] This step can comprehensively improve the coal seam permeability effect generated by dynamic pressure fracturing by implementing cutting-pressure composite permeability improvement on the coal seam, and can significantly reduce the gas extraction cost while improving the gas extraction efficiency.

[0027] S4, for the coal seam with prominent local structure development, after the cutting-pressure composite permeability improvement on the coal seam based on step S3, although the cracks can extend to a remote area under the condition of complex internal occurrence conditions of the coal seam, the development of hydraulic fractures in the soft layer area cannot achieve the ideal effect.

[0028] To further improve the coal body gas extraction effect in the local structure area, after the cutting-pressure composite permeability improvement on the coal seam based on step S3, the drilling is performed to the set hole depth by the hydraulic drilling machine and the core rod jacking type hole making drill rod, and then the drill rod is retreated to the hole making target position, and the matching mechanical hole making pressure relief device is used for hole making, so as to implement the cutting-pressure-expansion composite permeability improvement on the coal seam with prominent local structure development.

[0029] After the cutting-pressure composite permeability improvement on the coal seam, the mechanical hole expansion is performed on the structure coal body section of the gas extraction borehole, that is, the cutting-pressure-expansion composite permeability improvement is implemented on the coal seam, which can effectively solve the problem of poor coal seam permeability caused by the blank zone formed by the local structure of the coal seam and the soft coal seam.

[0030] S5, the actual coal seam permeability improvement effect is quantified by the extraction radius, and the method is as follows: According to the Coal Mine Safety Regulations, after the pre-extraction of coal seam gas, the effect of preventing and controlling outburst of pre-extracted gas must be inspected, one of the inspection indexes is that the coal seam gas pre-extraction rate is greater than 30%, that is, the gas content after extraction is less than 30% of the gas content before extraction. The gas content and gas pressure meet the following formula: , In the formula, Q is the coal seam gas content, m 3 / t; α is the gas content coefficient, m 3 / (t·MPa 1 / 2 ), p is the coal seam gas pressure, MPa.

[0031] According to the above formula, if the coal seam gas content is reduced by 30%, the residual gas pressure in the coal body is 49% of the original gas pressure, that is, the gas pressure of the coal seam is reduced by 51%.

[0032] As Figure 2 shown, two construction cracks are compared and investigated, and the distance between the two drill holes is not less than 25 m. A plurality of gas pressure observation holes are arranged between the drainage holes. According to the gas pressure drop of 51% as the range of effective drainage radius, the gas pressure drop ratio and the gas pressure change law of each drill hole are observed, and the fitting relationship diagram of the effective drainage radius and the drainage time is drawn, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0033] In this embodiment, the drainage radius of the drainage hole 1 is 2.23 m after 120 d of drainage, the drainage radius of the drainage hole 2 is 2.15 m after 120 d of drainage, and the average original gas drainage radius is 2.19 m. The effective drainage radius of the drainage hole 1 after 120 d of drainage of the "cutting-pressure-expansion" composite permeability improvement technology is 6.04 m, which is increased by 3.81 m compared with the original coal seam calculation value. The effective drainage radius of the drainage hole 2 after 120 d of drainage is 6.15 m, which is increased by 4.00 m compared with the original coal seam calculation value. The average drainage radius of the coal seam is 6.095 m, which is increased by 3.905 m compared with the original coal seam calculation value, and is increased by 178.31%.

[0034] The Coal Mine Safety Regulations recorded in this step are departmental regulations formulated to protect the safety of coal mine production and the personal safety and health of employees, prevent coal mine accidents and occupational hazards, and in accordance with the Coal Law, the Mine Safety Law, the Safety Production Law, the Occupational Disease Prevention Law, the Coal Mine Safety Supervision Regulations and the Safety Production License Regulations, etc. On January 6, 2022, the Decision of the Emergency Management Department on the Revision of the Coal Mine Safety Regulations was promulgated, and it will be implemented from April 1, 2022.

7. The method for increasing permeability of locally structurally developed outburst-prone coal seams according to claim 5, characterized in that, The coal body mechanical parameters were calibrated for the simulated regions of tectonic and non-tectonic coal in the numerical model for enhancing coal permeability, respectively, as follows: I. In PFC 2D A biaxial compression model is constructed in the software. The biaxial compression model is set to a rectangle with dimensions of 150mm × 75mm. The biaxial compression model does not have drill holes or slits set, and other model parameters are the same as those of the particle aggregate model. II. Walls are set around the biaxial compression model. The walls are given a set initial pressure. The upper and lower walls apply pressure to the biaxial compression model at a constant speed. When the axial stress reaches the peak and drops to 80% of the peak value, the pressure is stopped. III. Simultaneously record the bidirectional stress-strain data of the upper and lower walls and the transverse strain data of the biaxial compression model, generate stress-strain curves, and draw Mohr's circle and envelope. IV. Repeat steps II and III using a trial-and-error method to make the Mohr circle approach the envelope of the actual coal sample until the mechanical parameter calibration results of the coal seam permeability enhancement numerical model have an error of ≤5% with respect to the mechanical parameters of the actual coal seam sample.

The method is as follows: I. Assign fluid channels and fluid domains to the numerical model of coal seam permeability enhancement. Fluid channels refer to the contact between particles, and fluid domains refer to the polygonal closed area enclosed by the center points of adjacent and contacting particles. II. Assign seepage hydraulic parameters to the numerical model of coal seam permeability enhancement, including: initial opening of fluid conduit, apparent volume of fluid domain, magnification factor of residual fracture opening, fluid bulk modulus, half-opening compressive force, and fluid viscosity; III. Assign a fixed confining pressure to the coal seam permeability enhancement numerical model. Drill an injection hole of a certain size from the center of the outer surface of the coal seam permeability enhancement numerical model. Apply a fixed inlet pressure P1 to one side of the coal seam permeability enhancement numerical model and a fixed outlet pressure P2 to the other side, where P1 > P2. Calculate the permeability K0 of the coal seam permeability enhancement numerical model when the average pore pressure and total flow rate of the coal seam permeability enhancement numerical model reach a steady state. IV. After removing the confining pressure, inlet pressure, and outlet pressure assigned to the coal seam permeability enhancement numerical model in step III, inject a fluid with a certain flow rate and a certain pressure value into the coal seam permeability enhancement numerical model from the injection hole described in step III, and simulate hydraulic fracturing in the coal seam permeability enhancement numerical model, and record the particle state and fracture state of the coal seam permeability enhancement numerical model. V. Remove the calculation results assigned to the coal seam permeability enhancement numerical model in step IV, repeat step IV, and obtain the permeability K1 of the coal seam permeability enhancement numerical model under constant pressure steady state after hydraulic fracturing simulation. Compare the permeability K0 and permeability K1 to quantify the hydraulic fracturing permeability enhancement effect of the coal seam permeability enhancement numerical model.
