Abstract

By constructing the permeability model to distinguish the fracture zone, plastic zone, and elastic zone around the hydraulic fracturing borehole, we study the influence of some important parameters on the stress distribution around the borehole and the permeability of the coal rock. The research results show that the greater the ground stress, the greater the radial stress in the fracture zone and plastic zone, and the smaller the radial stress in the elastic zone, while the trend of the stress variation in permeability is the opposite to the radial stress. The greater the gas pressure, the greater the permeability of the coal rock in each stress area. The larger the borehole radius, the smaller the radial stress at the same distance from the borehole center, and the greater the permeability of the coal rock. The greater the fracturing pressure, the greater the radial stress on the coal rock at the same distance from the borehole center, and the smaller the permeability of the coal rock. The research results can provide a theoretical reference for hydraulic fracturing construction in coal mines with different reservoir environments.
