Publication number: 20250354488Abstract: A method for constructing an artificial water-conducting channel through pulse hydraulic fracturing of drainage boreholes in a roof aquifer includes constructing an artificial water-conducting channel in a sandstone fissure aquifer through arrangement of drainage boreholes and pulse hydraulic fracturing, which improves the permeability of dense and intact sandstone rock masses. The artificial water-conducting channel formed through arrangement of drainage boreholes is connected to discontinuous water-bearing areas and water-rich areas, and water from roof sandstone fissures is diverted to the drainage boreholes through the artificial water-conducting channel, thereby achieving effective drainage of the boreholes and expanding a radiation range of single-borehole drainage. The method not only avoids the arrangement of excessive drainage boreholes and significantly improves the drainage efficiency of prospecting and drainage boreholes, but also facilitates advance drainage during the mining process.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2025Publication date: November 20, 2025Applicant: CHINA UNIVERSITY OF MINING AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Xinglong ZHAO, Bingxiang HUANG, Zhipeng WEI, Shuliang CHEN

Patent number: 12392230Abstract: A method and a system for multistage pulse hydraulic fracturing in directional long drilling of coal and rock seams in underground mines are provided, which can perform multistage pulse hydraulic fracturing in directional long drilling of the coal and rock seams, thereby effectively solving the problem of uneven distribution of fractures caused by overall fracturing of long drilling, and the problem of fractures being “dense outside and sparse inside.” Further, a pressure of high-frequency pulse water in each stage induces fatigue damage to a coal-rock body, such that multi-directional hydraulic fractures that are not controlled by a crustal stress are formed, native fractures in the coal and rock seams are activated to form a fractures network. The pulse fractures network in each stage is expanded and connected, and an interconnected dense fractures network with uniform distribution of fractures is then formed in the directional long drilling.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2025Date of Patent: August 19, 2025Assignee: CHINA UNIVERSITY OF MINING AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Xinglong Zhao, Bingxiang Huang, Shuliang Chen, Luying Shao, Haoze Li

Patent number: 11299954Abstract: Provided is a fracturing relief method for stress concentration of remaining ore pillars in an overlying goaf, including first, performing directional fracturing on a roof to optimize the stress of the roof and reduce the source of force; secondly, performing pulse fracturing on a coal pillar to produce a crack network, weaken the stiffness of the coal pillar and reduce the bearing capacity of the coal pillar; and finally, performing pulse fracturing on a floor strata of the coal pillar to reduce the ability of transferring stress concentration thereof. A drilling machine is used for separately constructing fracturing drill holes in a roadway to a set depth at an interval in a direction oblique to the coal pillar in an upper goaf. The roof, the coal pillar and the floor can be fractured by an oblique fracturing hole in a sublevel retreating manner. The position of the directional fracturing of the roof is approximately 1 m above the middle of a main roof above the coal pillar.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignees: China University of Mining and Technology, XUZHOU USURE MINING TECHNOLOGY CO., LTDInventors: Bingxiang Huang, Luying Shao, Xinglong Zhao, Shuliang Chen

Patent number: 11085279Abstract: A stress-transfer method in tunnel with high ground pressure based on fracturing ring. According to the stress source of the tunnel, fracturing by drilling holes to form artificial weaken zones in surrounding rocks, that's named fracturing ring. The fracturing ring is the weaken zone with some width, whose inner boundary is the protective circle. The fracturing ring with small width is called the cutting and interruption circle and the cutting or interruption arc. The radius of the protective circle is determined by setting a certain width of safety coal pillar barriers at the edge of a support body. The radius of the fracturing ring is determined by the surrounding rock structure and the stress conditions as well as the construction technology. Usually, the higher the stress, the wider the radius of the fracturing ring. The cutting and interruption circle or arc could cut off all of the targeted rock which transmits the stress.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2017Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignees: China University of Mining and Technology, XUZHOU USURE MINING TECHNOLOGY CO., LTDInventors: Bingxiang Huang, Jiangwei Liu, Xinglong Zhao, Shuliang Chen
