In order to determine coal seam gas content accurately, the single factor method was adopted to study geological factors that affect coal seam gas content of a coal mine. Bedrock depth, 50m influence coefficient and coal thickness are identified as the main controlling factors of gas content. And the corresponding correlation coefficient are: 0.6011, 0.3899, 0.2527. Factors such as effective trapping thickness, moisture content and ash content are regarded as secondary factors. Then the SVM theory was used to set up a nonlinear prediction model between coal seam gas content and main controlling factors, and the gas content was predicted. Results show that single factor method can be used to determine main controlling factors of coal seam gas and the gas content SVM model can predict gas content accurately. Besides, the research findings can provide technical basis for gas drainage and gas outburst prevention.
This paper briefly reviews our recent analytical and experimental results on 3 interrelated features beyond the peak load in heterogeneous media: continuous bifurcation, damage localization and catastrophic rupture (CR). Firstly, an Elastic Statistically-Brittle model (ESB) was introduced to formulate the basic features of a kind of heterogeneous media, like rocks and cements. The global mean field approximation (GMF) shows that the measure of heterogeneity, like the Weibull modulus m in the distribution of meso-strength plays a key role to distinguish CR from gradual failure. Then, with the ESB model and corresponding experimental results, continuous bifurcation and damage localization are discussed. In accord with these, regional mean field approximation (RMF) is adopted and it shows that any scale of damage localization can satisfy the conservation laws in continuum mechanics. This implies that catastrophic rupture could appear at any state beyond the peak load, depending on the unknown evolution of damage localization zone. Hence, catastrophic rupture seems to occur stochastically at macroscopic level. On the other hand, both experimental and analytic studies demonstrate that a robust power law singularity (-1/2) appears ahead of CR. Preliminary applications of these ideas are briefly described.
An experiment extracting CBM with surface borehole from mining subsidence area of a 6.25 meters thick coal-bed workface was done in Jincheng city. The test borehole was designed three stages based on the geologic structure of test field. During underground workface passed through borehole, the operational status of well was recorded and the deformation of casing was detected four times. Test has shown that the highest pure flow of surface borehole can reach 8m3/min which proves that the methane extraction technology with surface borehole from mining infection zone has a bright future for application in Jincheng city. But, how to maintain the stability of casing avoiding damage is still a problem, which should be resolved before the drawing technology is used in Jincheng extensively. Besides, the ordinary protecting skills for borehole used in oil exploitation cannot take a satisfactory effect to protect tube against damaging due to overburden rock movement during mining. The casing will be damaged at several positions, especially near the junction of soft and hard strata. It may be right measure to expend the diameter of tube or install special defensive joints at the places where will deform badly under the mining influence.

Using elastic mechanics and fracture mechanics, analyzing the coal seam hydraulic fracturing breakdown pressure, given its theoretical formula. According to hydraulic fracturing stress status, given the form of two typical hydraulic fracture morphology. Analyzing hydraulic fracturing highly elliptical shape. The displacement field in plane stress state is given, and the theoretical formula of fracturing radius of hydraulic fracturing is deduced. The fracturing technology of underground fracturing is presented, and the fracturing location and fracturing parameters are determined. In Sihe Coal Mine conducted fracturing test, the test results showed that: the average of drainage volume of fracturing hole improved 4.4 times compared with non-pressed-hole. The extraction compliance time is reduced by 38%. Roadway tunneling speed was improved by 15%. It can solve the problem of gas overrun in roadway excavation well, and has a good application and popularization value.
