ADVANCED EXPERIENCE IN GAS SITUATION MANAGEMENT AT THE COAL MINES OF THE KARAGANDA BASIN

This article presents the main methods of implementing degassing control systems, which allow for a radical reduction in the likelihood of accidents and achieving the most effective production results. The article discusses measures to prevent explosive gas concentrations during degassing operations, proposes optimal diameters and distances between degassing wells. Additionally, parameters influencing the volume of pumped methane are identified. A technology for sealing underground wells to maintain methane gas concentration is proposed. A modern mobile degassing unit is presented for methane extraction followed by utilization for electricity generation.
