The invention belongs to a hard roof control range, and particularly discloses a
crack initiation method adopting crack prefabricating and orientated
hydraulic fracturing. The
crack initiation methodadopting crack prefabricating and orientated
hydraulic fracturing comprises the steps that firstly the magnitude and direction of the maximum
horizontal stress of a hard rock stratum are measured, andthen vertically upward or obliquely upward drilling holes are constructed from one side of an open-off
cut coal pillar of a working face or a conveying gate road or one side of a return wind gate road channel or the above three positions to the hard rock stratum, after the drilling construction is completed, cracks are symmetrically prefabricated on both sides of hard rock stratum sections in thedrilling holes in the axial direction, after the
prefabrication of the cracks is completed, the drilling holes are rinsed with
clean water, then
waterproofing agents are applied in the drilling holes, and after the
waterproofing agents solidify, the drilling holes are sealed and fractured. The
crack initiation method adopting crack prefabricating and orientated
hydraulic fracturing overcomes thedisadvantages that when rock permeability is good and the prefabricated cracks and the maximum
horizontal stress have a certain included angle, the prefabricated cracks cannot provide the crack
initiation position due to the fluid loss of
fracturing fluid by rock, so that the crack
initiation position and the direction of hydraulic crack propagation are effectively controlled, the spacing of the fractured drilling holes is increased, and the cost of the drilling holes and labor intensity are reduced.
