摘要

To optimize the safe distance between coal mining faces and natural gas wells, with the Ordos Basin as the engineering background for the intersectional development of natural gas and coal resources, a Gaussian function equation for subsidence curves under complete mining was proposed based on the probability integral method, and a model was constructed to determine the coordinated mining safety distance between coal mining faces and natural gas wells. Based on the distributed optical fiber monitoring principle of the BOTDR technology, on-site monitoring of the simulated monitoring well GX1 within the safety distance was carried out. The results indicated that the maximum strain change values of the outer casing and inner production casing of the simulated monitoring well GX1 were 836 με and 766 με, respectively, far less than the maximum ultimate tensile strain value of the overlying rock at the same depth position. Furthermore, the casing structure possessed ample resistance capability, ensuring no noticeable deformation occurred. Through comparison, it was found that the discriminant model reduced the reserved safety distance between the coal mining working face and the natural gas well by 58% compared with the currently used avoidance method of the surface subsidence boundary, liberated coal resources, and achieved a "win–win" situation of the coordinated mining of natural gas resources and coal resources. It can reasonably adjust the coordinated mining problem without a natural gas-coal co-mining mechanism, provide a new method for the layout of natural gas wells in gas-coal overlapping areas, and provide new ideas for the coordinated mining of coal-related associated resources.
