Abstract

The paper discussed the method of interval hydraulic fracturing (IHF) of a coal seam from uncased boreholes to intensify the process of degassing. Technological schemes of its implementation in the production and development faces are provided. The results of numerical modeling of the stress-and-strain state of the rocks near the borehole where packer seals are installed using the finite element method are presented in the paper. The effect of the fracturing device parameters is determined, allowing to ensure the development of a transverse fracture in relation to the borehole axis due to tensile stresses in the rock mass.
