Stimulation of Underground Degassing in Coal Seams by Hydraulic Fracturing Method

详细

The problems preventing the use of mine hydraulic fracturing for stimulating the preliminary degassing in coal seams are considered. The solutions are presented for sealing the borehole interval by solidifying composition with initiator for transverse fracture of rocks. An original system for transportation of equipment along the holes and a robotized device for hydraulic fracturing of roof-and-floor selfsustaining rocks of coal seam are designed. The working fluid with a low-density proppant is proposed, which ensures creation of fractures with a high rate of methane migration.
