Prediction of coal and gas outburst risk near small faults
The effective implementation of gas control measures depends on the accurate prediction results of coal and gas outburst risk.In order to improve the effect of gas control near small faults in coal seams,based on the main influencing factors of coal and gas outburst,a dynamic analysis method of coal and gas outburst risk near small faults is proposed,mainly including gas geological condition exploration,construction of numerical model of gas geology,mining stress field evolution and prediction of coal and gas outburst.Taking 14171 mining working face of Guhanshan Coal Mine as an example to illustrate the implementation process of the method,the numerical model is constructed on the basis of fine exploration of gas geological conditions,and the numerical simulation analysis of mining stress field before and during mining of the working face is carried out.It is found that the stress concentration area of coal seam appears on the side of the fault end before mining,and the stress concentration occurs on the side of the fault strike during mining.It is indicated that there is coal and gas outburst risk within 15 m of the side of the small fault end,and there is coal and gas outburst risk within the range less than 21 m from the mining to the fault.The distribution range of coal and gas outburst risk zone provides theoretical guidance for the evaluation of regional outburst prevention measures and the prediction of working face.The test borehole conducted in the field shows that the gas desorption index Δh2 and the gas emission initial velocity index q of the borehole increase abnormally within the range of 8-20 m from the mining to the small fault,and the coal and gas outburst risk is high in this range,which is basically consistent with the results of dynamic analysis of coal and gas outburst,which proves the effectiveness of this method.The research results open up a new idea for the prediction of coal and gas outburst in complex structural belt,and provide a technical reference for coal mine gas control under similar geological conditions.
