- Abstract:
- Article provides review of modern research on hydraulic technology application for coal seam gas drainage, rock stress relief, rock scaling and other supplementary operations. Radial slots in drilled wells play significant role on gas drainage and stress relief process. Cutting such slots is achievable with high-pressure waterjets bits. Experiments on rock scaling shows good results as well, hydraulic machines achieve same level of productivity as mechanical ones. Author of reviewed researches claims perspectives of this technology due to its safety, simplicity and high productivity. Using modern robotic and automation technology it is possible to use hydraulic technology not only for supplementary operations, but for roadheading and coal extraction as well.
