Abstract
In order to solve the problems that restrict the efficient development of coalbed methane resources under the conditions of soft and low permeability outburst coal seams in Huainan Mining Area, such as complex coal seam structure, multi-source gas emission, rapid decline of drainage flow, high rock roadway and drilling costs, and low (ultra-low) concentration coalbed methane utilization rate, six key technologies suitable for the coordinated development mode of coal and coalbed methane under the condition of coal seam group mining in Huainan mining area are put forward, namely: coalbed methane extraction technology of ground level staged fracturing wells, shield rapid construction technology of coalbed methane extraction roadways, enhanced extraction technology of underground soft coalbed methane, coalbed methane extraction technology of pressure relief in ground mining area, the construction technology of "replacing roadways with holes", and cascade utilization technology of low concentration coalbed methane. The application of supporting key technologies shows that staged fracturing technology and refined drainage and production technology of roof horizontal wells in broken and soft coal seam have effectively improved the pre pumping production of coalbed methane; The full face hard rock roadheader in deep coal mine roadway greatly improves the roadway excavation efficiency, realizing the automation and less humanization of hard rock excavation; Sand adding of hydraulic fracturing and ultra-high hydraulic slotting have realized pressure relief and permeability enhancement in large areas underground coal mine; Type III and IV surface mining area wells can replace the roof high drainage roadway in the treatment of pressure relief gas in coal seam group mining, and reduce the coalbed methane drainage intensity of other measures; The technology of "replacing roadways with holes" has significantly improved the quality of successful directional drilling at middle and high levels in complex roof; Cascade utilization technology of low concentration coalbed methane has greatly reduced the emission of coalbed methane. The six key technologies have guaranteed the safe production in Huainan mining area, and comprehensively improved the output of coal and coalbed methane and the utilization level of coalbed methane. Six key technologies ensure the safe production in Huainan mining area, and comprehensively improved the output of coal and coalbed methane and the utilization level of coalbed methane. Finally, in view of the problems such as high operation cost, low production, small scope of hydraulic fracturing coal reservoir reconstruction technology for surface horizontal wells, and the risk of breakage of mining wells, and small scale of cascade utilization of ultra-low concentration coalbed methane, the development direction of deep CBM precise geological guidance, super large scale efficient reservoir volume transformation, pumping effect evaluation technology, stable and continuous pumping technology of surface wells in mining areas, underground large area intelligent hydraulic enhanced permeability technology, "one well with multiple uses" collaborative pumping CBM technology, and full concentration CBM comprehensive utilization technology are proposed.
