Abstract

Purpose. Investigation of deformation of the mouth of the degassing well depending on the deformation of the rocks around the preparatory work Methodology. The deformation of the mouth of the degassing well as a function of deformations of the roof rocks of the preparatory workings from which the well was drilled is considered. The dependence of the required depth of well sealing on the level of methane leakage and roof deformation is established. Results. It is experimentally proved that in the zone of active shifts behind the operating lava, where the main amount of explosive methane is released from the massif, the mouths of degassing wells change and the main types of irreversible deformations take place. With the distance from the contour of the preparatory production, the distance between adjacent concentrated deformations of the wellbore increases according to the logarithmic dependence, and these deformations are distributed according to the normal law. The average value of the concentrated deformation of the degassing well is in logarithmic dependence on the displacements on the contour of the preparatory work. The tensile deformation of the degassing well axis decreases with distance from the production contour into the array. Stratification of rocks leads to gas leakage and air suction, which reduces the efficiency of degassing. Permissible concentrated deformations of the degassing wellbore should not exceed its radius. Originality. The empirical power dependence of the required length of sealing of the degassing well on the allowable leaks and displacements of the roof of the preparatory workings from which the well was drilled is established. Practical value. Methods for calculating the required sealing depth of the degassing well have been developed and measures have been proposed to increase its stability, which increase the reliability of the degassing system as a whole and help increase the safety of underground coal mining.
