Abstract:
A comprehensive treatment method involving “conventional short drilling combined with segmented hydraulic fracturing using directional long drilling” was employed.The treatment results indicate that maintaining a water pressure of 15 to 20 MPa during the stabilization period, with 2 to 3 pressure drops, achieved consistent fracturing effects as observed in hard roofs, demonstrating better fracture effect in the main cracks.Borehole inspection revealed collapsed holes, as well as axial and radial fractures with lengths ranging from 1 to 2 meters, effectively weakening the roof.The support resistance data showed a 45.2% reduction in stress concentration zones above 42.5 MPa after fracturing.Within the range of 150 to 260 meters, high-stress concentration zones above 49 MPa were larger and continuous in the unfractured areas, but significantly reduced and discontinuous after fracturing, confirming the remarkable effectiveness of the fracturing treatment.
