  • To study the hydraulic fracturing initiation pressure and mechanism of fracture propagation in coal and rock mass, the physical simulation experiment program "exerting three-dimensional stresses-injecting fluid from the top" of coalbed hydraulic fracturing was established based on engineering applications by using briquette samples and self-developed hydraulic fracturing testing system. According to the above program combining the existing experimental conditions, the water pressure and hydraulic fracture were analyzed under varied conditions. The experimental results show that initiation pressure increases in the process of increasing flow rate. Hydraulic fractures propagate along the direction perpendicular to σh under the condition of σH > σv > σh. With the increase of σH, the initiation pressure of coal rock increases at first and then decreases when σv and σh are constant, in addition, the fracture propagation path becomes more straight. As σH is much larger than σv and σh, the fracture propagation path gets more complex and the angle of bifurcate fractures is larger. The results are of significance and importance for the improvement of hydraulic fracturing theory in coal rock mass.
