  • Patent number: 10378327
    Abstract: A gas extraction method in which high energy gas fracturing technology is used to form a fracture network in a thermal injection borehole. Then high-pressure, cyclically temperature-changing steam is injected into the borehole using a spinning oscillating-pulse jet nozzle to form oscillating superheated steam, alternatingly impacting and heating the coal body. The high energy gas forms a fracture network that provides channels for passage of the superheated steam, while oscillating changes in steam temperature and pressure also promote crack propagation and perforation of the coal body; the combined effect of alternation of the two enhances gas desorption and extraction efficiency.

  • Patent number: 10370942
    Abstract: A method for combining integrated drilling, flushing and slotting with thermal injection to enhance coalbed gas extraction, applicable to managing gas extraction from microporous, low-permeability, high-adsorption coalbed areas. A gas extraction borehole is drilled within a certain distance of a predetermined drilling, flushing and slotting borehole, and, once sealed, is used for gas extraction. An integrated drilling, flushing and slotting drill bit is used to sink the borehole, which is then sealed. Concentration variation in the gas extraction borehole is monitored in real time, and when concentration is below 30%, borehole is opened and high-temperature steam is injected by means of a steam generator, after which the borehole is again closed.
