This invention relates to the field of
mine safety and rock strata control technology, specifically to a safe decompression method for long-bore directional
hydraulic fracturing in hard rock strata. First, based on the geological conditions, geostress, and mechanical parameters of the target hard rock strata, the design parameters for the long directional borehole are determined. Then,
directional drilling combined with a drilling-while-guided
system is used to ensure precise borehole positioning within the target rock strata. A segmented isolation device is lowered to form a high-pressure sealed chamber. According to the design parameters, a retreating fracturing process is used to fracture segment by segment, initiating fractures and extending them to the far field. Finally, the fracturing effect is verified through real-time monitoring to complete safe decompression. This invention is a spark-free, low-vibration static operation with no
toxic gas generation, ensuring high safety. It can transform the overall
impact collapse of rock strata into a layered, small-step, stable collapse, resulting in excellent fracturing control. The use of multi-segment fracturing within a single borehole reduces drilling site and equipment
relocation, lowers
treatment costs, and is suitable for decompression treatment of hard rock strata in underground
coal mines, ensuring safe mine production.
