水力割缝增透抽采煤层瓦斯原理及应用

煤层瓦斯抽采是避免煤矿瓦斯灾害发生的根本防治措施,水力割缝技术使煤体在割缝后应力松弛、卸压、破坏、破裂,以成倍或者十几倍地提高煤层的渗透性,继而对煤层瓦斯进行抽采,使瓦斯煤层变为低瓦斯或无瓦斯煤层,从根本上避免瓦斯灾害发生。从水力割缝技术切割煤层致煤层应力变化角度,将理论分析和数值模拟方法相结合,根据渗流力学平面径向流理论,分析给出水力割缝技术增透抽采瓦斯原理。以兖州东滩矿3号煤层为例,分析采用水力割缝技术前后煤层应力变化、渗透率变化规律。结果表明:大面积割缝后,应力重新分布,由均匀状态转变为非均匀状态分布,水平缝使煤层卸压,煤层应力普遍降低,在缝上部煤层局部形成拉应力区。割缝后渗透率是割缝前的4.34倍,渗透率大幅度增加,从而提高瓦斯抽采速度和最终抽采率。

Principle of Gas Extraction by Increasing Permeability of Coal Seam with Hydraulic Cutting and Its Application

Gas extraction in coal mine is the fundamental measures to avoid gas disaster.The hydraulic cutting technology can improve the permeability of coal seam more than a dozen times through cutting coal seam and thus relaxing stress,relieving pressure,damaging and breaking coal.And then gas extraction can be used to make the coal seam become the one with low content of gas or no gas,so as to basically avoid gas disaster.From the aspect of coal seam stress change caused by hydraulic cutting technology,and accordi...
