Mechanism and technical system of ground and underground combined drainage of CBM in “four region linkage” in coal mining area

In order to better realize the safe and efficient coordinated development of coal and CBM resources in high gassy mining areas, the four regions (planning region, preparation region, production region and coal mined-out region) linkage ground-underground combined drainage mode (new Jincheng mode) and a series of technical systems of CBM in the whole mining area, all stratum layer and all time were innovatively developed. Relying on the “Thirteen Five - Year Plan” national major science and technology projects to continue to tackle key problems, closely combining with the actual production of key coal mining areas in Shanxi Province. This new mode upgraded from the “three regions linkage” three-dimensional extraction mode of CBM developed during the “Eleventh Five-Year” and the “Twelfth Five-Year” Plan and it had been widely used in key coal mining areas of Shanxi Province and achieved good results. The ground pre-drainage technology of CBM in the planning area mainly used vertical wells, directional wells, ho
