Research on the Characteristics of Gas Geology in Yongshanqiao Mining Area, Jiangxi Province

Abstract

The coal and gas outburst is very serious in Yongshanqiao Mining Area of Jiangxi province, so it is of significance to research the characteristics of gas geology and their controlling factors. Based on the statistical analysis of gas data during coal exploration and coal mining, the regularity is revealed of the characteristics of gas geology in Yongshanqiao Mining Area. From east to west and from south to north, the relative gas emission rate and the absolute gas emission rate tend to increase, the frequency and intensity of coal and gas outbursts rise, the gas contents also tend to increase. The controlling factors of characteristics of gas geology in Yongshanqiao Mining Area are researched in this paper. The work reveals that: corresponding to characteristics of gas geology, the distribution characteristics of coal quality, the characteristics of geological structure and the lithology characteristics of the roof and the floor of the coal seams in Yongshanqiao Mining Area present regular changes, and are all favorable to gas generation and gas preservation. So, the characteristics of gas geology in Yongshanqiao Mining Area are the result of comprehensive effects by geological factors
