Abstract

The article addresses constraints of hydraulic fracturing application to enhancing preliminary degassing of coal beds. Decisions on geometrizing a hole interval by cemented mixture with cross fracture initiator are presented. An original conveying system for equipment in hole and a robotic hydrofracturing device for hard coal roof and floor are developed. The proposed hydraulic fracturing fluid with low-density proppant allows making fractures ensuring high-rate methane flow.
