Three stages of nitrogen (N2) injection enhanced gas drainage through underground in-seam boreholes were carried out in a coal mine located in the southern Sydney basin. Due to the high CO2 content and low permeability, hard-to-drain coals were encountered during the excavation process in this coal mine. Two parallel in-seam boreholes (the length o...
Coal and gas outburst remains one of the most severe dynamic hazards to many underground coal mining operations worldwide, posing great threats to mine safety and productivity. To understand the influence of gas composition on coal and gas outburst propensity, bulk coal samples were collected from underground coal mine sites in NSW and QLD, and sub...
Protective seam mining is one kind of most effective measure to reduce coal and gas outburst risk. The pressure relief angles along inclination (δm) are key parameters for evaluating the effect of protective seam mining. However, the numerical relation between δm and coal seam dip (a) is defined by discrete data and is difficult to determine δm acc...
Seam gas pre-drainage, is widely used as an effective method to control gas and coal outburst in underground coal mines. However, in CO 2 abundant low permeable seams, this technology seems to be less efficient due to the CO 2 sorption characteristics and the lower safe mining threshold limit for CO 2 applied in many outburst risk management plans....
Carbon dioxide (CO2) enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) is an effective method to improve methane (CH4) production and this technology has already been used to increase gas production in several field trials worldwide. One major problem is the injection drop in the later period due to permeability decrease caused by coal matrix swelling induced by CO2...
The prediction of gas emissions arising from underground coal mining has been the subject of extensive research for several decades, however calculation techniques remain empirically based and are hence limited to the origin of calculation in both application and resolution. Quantification and management of risk associated with sudden gas release d...
