Addressing the challenges in the deep mining of China's extra-thick coal seams—where mining disturbances readily induce dy-namic hazards,and gas control is hindered by issues such as blind spots in borehole coverage and the insufficient reliability of effective-ness verification—this study was conducted with the single extra-thick,outburst-prone coal seam at the Jinhe Coal Mine in the Yaojie Mining Area as its engineering context.It systematically investigated the dynamic evolution of the stress field throughout the entire min-ing process,the optimization of key technologies for regional outburst prevention at the working face,and techniques for high-efficiency pressure relief and permeability enhancement in local stress zones at the driving face.FLAC3D numerical simulations revealed the devel-opmental characteristics of the arc-shaped pressure relief zone in a fully-mechanized top-coal caving face with a large mining-to-caving ra-tio:the zone's width was 5~7 m during the initial mining period,3~5 m in tectonic zones,and 10~15 m in normal zones.Concurrently,it was discovered that under the superposition of multiple mining-induced stresses,an ultra-high stress concentration phenomenon occurs at the driving face,with the stress concentration factor(λ)reaching as high as 2.4~3.0.Accordingly,a graded risk management and con-trol method based on dominant stress factors was proposed:the longwall face was zoned into a Grade I risk area(λ>2.0)and a Grade II risk area(1.5≤λ≤2.0),while a Grade III risk area(1.0≤λ<1.5)was established for the driving face,for which differentiated prevention and control countermeasures were developed.To address the challenges associated with traditional regional prevention techniques at the work-ing faces,four key technologies were developed and applied to enhance the reliability of outburst prevention:A 3D inversion system for regional measure boreholes,which achieves 3D visualization of borehole trajectories and identification of risk areas,thereby eliminating"3D weak zones"in regional borehole coverage;A stratified and three-dimensional prediction model for gas drainage compliance,which uses the minimum drainage radius of the top slice as the standard for borehole layout to ensure the middle and upper parts of the coal body are fully drained;An inner-liner,wall-clinging gas content sampling device that reduces gas desorption loss,increasing the measured de-sorbable gas content by 6.25%to 20.59%compared to traditional borehole collar sampling;A"by-zone,by-band,by-layer"full-coverage verification method,which intensifies testing in high-risk areas like tectonic zones and soft coal bands and validates key horizons layer by layer,reducing verification blind spots.For high-stress zones at the driving face(such as the 16219-1 driving face,affected by sevenfold mining influence),an improved ultra-high-pressure hydraulic slotting technology and its associated equipment(including high-rigidity lightweight drill rods,an anti-slip device,and a water quality filter)were applied.The results showed that in the high-stress zone of the 16219-1 driving face,the stress concentration factor decreased from 3.0 to 1.6,the coal seam's permeability coefficient increased 10-fold,the time required to meet drainage standards was shortened by one-third,and the residual gas content was reduced to 4.73 m3/t.During driving,CH4 and CO2 gushing remained stable(with a maximum CO2 concentration of 0.48%),and high-energy microseismic events de-creased,achieving the"dual"objectives of outburst elimination and stress reduction.
Protective coal seam mining is an important technical method used to strengthen the effect of gas extraction and prevent accidents caused by gases. However, it is necessary to thoroughly study the selection of the first coal seam to be mined and its effects related to pressure relief and permeability enhancement under the complex conditions of a coal seam group. This includes studying the relationships that govern pressure relief and permeability enhancement and the mechanism of the extraction of gas. In this study, a certain mine was used as engineering background. A damage-permeability model of a coal rock body undergoing mining disturbance was constructed based on experimental results and related theories. COMSOL Multiphysics software was used to perform numerical calculations with the model. The distribution of gas pressure in a coal seam was simulated under different mining conditions for the first mining seam. The first mining layer for protective coal seam mining of a coal seam group was identified. On this basis, the changes in parameters such as coal seam gas content, vertical stress and seepage velocity were studied during the advancement of the working face of the first mining seam. Furthermore, the numerical simulation was used to analyze the arrangement of boreholes for gas extraction from the bottom extraction roadway and the effect of extraction on pressure relief and permeability enhancement during protective coal seam mining. The results of the study showed the following: (1) Selecting 6# coal seam as the first mining seam had the best pressure relief effect on the adjacent seam, followed by 4# coal seam, and 8# coal seam had the worst pressure relief effect. (2) With the advancement of the 6# coal seam working face, the range of the pressure relief of the protected seam gradually expanded, the maximum stress relief degree of 4# coal seam was 25%, and the maximum decrease in gas content was 28.1%. The maximum stress relief degree of 8# coal seam was 60%, and the maximum decrease in gas content was 45.9%. (3) The gas content of coal seams decreased rapidly after extraction using boreholes; the gas contents of 4# coal seam and 8# coal seam decreased 81.25% and 99%, respectively, compared with the original values after 50 days of extraction. The efficiency of extraction by drill holes was related to the degree of decompression in the coal seam.
To address the issues of low gas extraction efficiency and the difficulty of outburst prevention in deep, low-permeability coal seams, hydraulic measures such as hydraulic fracturing, hydraulic slotting, and hydraulic perforation have become important methods to improve coal seam permeability and reduce outburst risks. However, single hydraulic techniques have certain limitations. To further enhance pressure relief and permeability improvement in deep low-permeability coal seams, an ultra-high-pressure water jet “cutting-fracturing combination” pressure relief and permeability enhancement technology was proposed. By synergistically combining the precise pressure relief of hydraulic slotting with the large-scale permeability enhancement of hydraulic fracturing, and based on theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and field tests, the synergistic mechanism of the “cutting-fracturing combination” was revealed: slots formed by hydraulic slotting induce stress redistribution in the coal mass, creating a plastic weakening zone; fracturing fluid preferentially extends along the plastic weak planes, constructing a connected three-dimensional fracture network, effectively avoiding the pressure relief blind zones and localized stress concentration issues present in single hydraulic fracturing. The key factors influencing the effectiveness of the cutting-fracturing combination were analyzed, and based on the specific conditions of the No. 1 coal seam in Xinji No. 2 Mine, numerical simulations optimized key process parameters: a slot spacing of 10 m ensures effective overlap of plastic zones, avoiding fracturing blank zones; a borehole spacing of 70 m facilitates efficient connectivity of the fracture network, forming a uniform permeability enhancement area. Two types of cutting-fracturing combination pressure relief technologies were proposed: the “controlled” type and the “enhanced” type. The core of the controlled cutting-fracturing technology lies in pre-intervention—control boreholes are pre-drilled at the boundaries of the controlled area to form guiding boundaries, directing the fractures generated by the cutting-fracturing combination to expand uniformly within the controlled area. The enhanced cutting-fracturing technology focuses on local post-treatment—after applying the cutting-fracturing combination, localized high-stress or weak permeability zones may exist, and supplementary hydraulic slotting measures are applied to further enhance pressure relief and permeability. Field applications at the 220106 working face of Xinji No. 2 Mine demonstrated that gas extraction efficiency improved by 2.3 to 2.9 times, borehole engineering workload was reduced by 33% to 38%, and the time to reach extraction standards decreased by 41% to 53%. The cutting-fracturing combination technology successfully achieved large-scale, uniform, and efficient pressure relief and permeability enhancement in low-permeability coal seams, providing theoretical and technical support for safe and efficient coal mining.
Combined with specific engineering examples, the spatial disturbance influence characteristics and laws of the surrounding rock stress in the staggered roadways are analyzed by numerical simulation. This paper concludes that (1) compared with the surrounding rock pressure behavior of the general roadway, the surrounding rock stability of the staggered roadway is relatively poor, showing the characteristics of the local serious roadway rock pressure behavior, such as the intensified destruction of the roadway side, the failure and fracture penetration of the surrounding rock between the roadways, and the relatively serious deformation of the surrounding rock. The reason is that the stress of the surrounding rock at the staggered roadway position is obviously superimposed and disturbed by each other; (2) the influencing factors of the failure and instability of the surrounding rock between interlaced roadways are as follows: the greater the buried depth and the smaller the distance between roadways, the more intense the superposition disturbance of the surrounding rock stress between roadways; the smaller the horizontal azimuth, the greater the influence range of superposition disturbance of surrounding rock stress between roadways; the more unbalanced the original rock stress field, the worse the stability of the surrounding rock between roadways, resulting in the more serious failure and instability of the surrounding rock between roadways; (3) for the staggered roadway layout, increasing the distance between roadways, the closer to the orthogonal layout and selecting the arch section of the lower roadway is conducive to the bearing stability of the surrounding rock between roadways; (4) constrained by the space conditions of staggered roadway, the role of bolt and cable support is limited. Passive support is the key to realize the safety and stability of surrounding rock of staggered roadway, so the control technical scheme of active and passive combined support in staggered roadway position is put forward, the combined support of the upper roadway “bolt + cable + shotcrete + concrete cushion of floor” and lower roadway “bolt + cable + U-shaped steel support passive reinforcement + shotcrete” within the spatial disturbance influence the range of surrounding rock stress in the staggered roadways, and the technical scheme can achieve satisfactory supporting effect.
To solve the high-stress hazard faced in the process of deep mining process, the pressure relief characteristics of gas bearing coal and the deformation characteristics of surrounding rock in deep roadway are studied by means of laboratory test, similar simulation analysis, and field investigation. The investigation results and engineering application showed that the specimens could more easily reach the failure point due to the axial pressure relief under high confining pressure. In addition, the deformation and failure degree of the surrounding rock was higher due to the disturbance from the deep high-stress roadway. The scope of the height affected by the pressure relief of the overlying strata reached above 10 m. Moreover, the initial gas emission could reach 4.41–14.39 times that of the original coal seam by drilling a hole in the coal seam at 10 m from the roof. Thus, the short-distance floor roadway exerted an obvious pressure relief effect on the overlying coal seam.
瓦斯灾害是煤矿安全生产的"第一杀手",瓦斯抽采是防治瓦斯事故的治本之策,而低透气性煤层是制约瓦斯抽采的关键因素.由于浅部资源逐渐枯竭,我国煤矿开采深度以每年10~30, m速度向深部延深,开采煤层表现出显著的"低煤层渗透性、高围岩地应力、高煤层瓦斯压力"特征.面对深部矿井煤岩复合动力灾害,单一采用地面井或者井下钻孔预抽等措施,在高地应力、低渗透性条件下难以取得较为理想的抽采效果,同时无法消除煤岩内部积聚的弹性应变能、降低采掘区域内地应力威胁,需结合有效的卸压增透措施才能满足复合动力灾害的治理需求.由此,研究一种既能满足煤层瓦斯快速抽采达标,又能达到降低煤层应力的技术手段,是煤矿科研工作者共同努力的方向.

A pressure relief and permeability enhancement method through short-distance floor roadway was proposed to solve the difficult outburst prevention during the gas extraction at the coal roadway strips in deep outburst coal seams with high ground stress and low gas permeability. On the basis of an equivalent model of the surrounding rock in a deep roadway, the analytical solutions of deep roadway excavation to the stress and deformation of pressure relief at overlying short-distance coal roadway strips were obtained using the unified strength theory and nonassociated flow rules. Next, the criteria for determining the reasonable position of floor roadway were established, and a mechanical model of short-distance floor roadway for the pressure relief and permeability enhancement zone at the overlying coal seam was constructed. Finally, the scope of the zonal disintegration at the coal roadway strips in the elastic and elastic–plastic zones of the surrounding rock in the roadway, as well as the expression of gas permeability change, was given. The engineering trial calculation and practice showed that the stress and strain of the surrounding rock in the roadway were evidently influenced by the intermediate principal stress coefficient. Moreover, the vertical stress and vertical displacement of overlying coal seam were gradually reduced with the increase in the intermediate principal stress coefficient and vertical distance of the floor roadway. The minimum reasonable distance arranged for the 213 floor roadway in Qujiang Coal Mine was 6.21 m, and the effective pressure relief should be conducted within 10.6 m from the coal seam floor. When the pressure relief was located at 9.0 m from the coal seam floor, the investigation results were basically consistent with the theoretical analysis results, exerting obvious pressure relief and permeability enhancement effects on the overlying short-distance coal roadway strips.
Aiming at the problem of gas control in the working face and the roadway to be excavated at the same time due to the small construction length of bedding borehole under the condition of the occurrence of soft coal, a technology of "one hole and two elimination" pre-drainage to eliminate gas outburst by using air screw motor drilling was put forward, and the field test was carried out in the 17102(3) working face of Pansu Coal Mine.The results show that this technology can effectively control the borehole trajectory, ensure the uniform and reasonable range of borehole outburst elimination, solve the problems of long gas treatment cycle caused by the construction of gas treatment roadway, improve the effective drainage time of borehole, ensure enough time and space for gas treatment, and be beneficial to the mining and replacement of mine.

Conventional hydraulic fracturing has several disadvantages, including a short effective extraction time and low fracture conductivity during long-term extraction. Aiming at overcoming these shortcomings, a similar simulation test of repeated hydraulic fracturing was conducted in this study, and the evolutionary rules regarding the injection water pressure and stress distribution of the coal seam roof during this repeated hydraulic fracturing were revealed. The research results show that after multiple hydraulic fracturing, the number of cracks in the coal seam and the range of fracturing influence have increased significantly. As the number of fracturing increases, the initial pressure required for cracking decreases. The highest water injection pressure of the first fracturing was 2.8 MPa, while the highest water injection pressures of the second and third fracturing were 2.7 MPa and 2.4 MPa, respectively. As the number of fracturing increases, the area of increased stress will continue to expand. After the first fracturing, the impact radius of fracturing is 100 cm. After the second fracturing, the radius of influence of fracturing expanded to 150 cm. When the third fracturing was over, the radius of influence of the fracturing expanded to approximately 250 cm. It can be seen that, compared with conventional hydraulic fracturing, repeated hydraulic fracturing shows better fracturing effect. The research results can be used as a basis for repeated hydraulic fracturing field tests to increase coal seam permeability.
