Experimental Study on Rapid Determination Method of Coal Seam Gas Content by Indirect Method

In view of the problems of heavy work, long cycle, high cost and low efficiency in the process of indirect determination of coal seam gas content, the basic gas parameters and coal quality indexes of 24 coal samples from 5 coal mines in the Hancheng area of Shanxi Province are measured by the laboratory measurement method. The raw coal gas content–gas desorption index of drilling cuttings (W–K1) relationship model is characterized by logarithmic function. Using SPSS data analysis software, a stepwise multiple linear regression method is used for statistical analysis. The results show that the factors that have a significant impact on the regression slope C in the W–K1 relationship model are gas adsorption constant (a), apparent density (ARD), initial velocity of gas diffusion (Δp) and consistent coefficient (f). The factors that have a significant impact on the regression constant D are Δp and atmospheric adsorption (Q). Then, the mathematical model of rapid prediction of coal seam gas content is determined. Compared with the measured values, the average absolute error rate is 12.84%, which meets the prediction requirements and provides a simple and easy method for rapid determination of coal seam gas content in coal mines in the Hancheng area.
