Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic fracturing technology, specifically to a hydraulic fracturing device for improving the permeability of coal seams. Background Technology

[0002] Coal seams in my country's mines are generally characterized by high ground stress and low permeability. Solving the problem of gas drainage in low-permeability coal seams has always been a key link in ensuring safe production and improving coal mine efficiency. Among them, hydraulic fracturing, a representative hydraulic measure, is widely used to enhance coal seam permeability. Hydraulic fracturing uses a high-pressure pump (or fracturing pump) to inject high-viscosity fracturing fluid into the coal seam. With the support of the weak surface of the coal wall, the fracturing fluid overcomes the frictional resistance of the borehole wall in the pores and fractures of the coal seam. The injection rate is greater than the fluid loss rate, and the internal water pressure of the high-pressure water increases. After reaching the tensile strength of the coal wall, stress concentration forms at the fracture tip, causing the fracture to open and enter the next weak surface, generating more artificial fractures. These fractures interconnect and form a fracture network, increasing the permeability of the coal seam, enhancing the desorption of adsorbed gas, improving gas drainage efficiency, and reducing gas content and pressure.

[0003] However, existing hydraulic fracturing equipment involves adding water and various additives (such as gelling agents and drag reducers) into the device and outputting them through a fracturing pump. However, the water and additives are not fully mixed, and the gelling agent needs to be evenly dispersed in the water to form an effective gel structure. Furthermore, since the density of the proppant is higher than that of the base fluid, prolonged static conditions can lead to additive stratification and proppant sedimentation. Therefore, direct output can easily cause the underground fractures to break up, resulting in poor support and blockage of related structural components.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a hydraulic fracturing device for improving the permeability of coal seams. Utility Model Content
