Recently, reporters learned from Shaanxi Coal and Chemical Industry Group’s 2009 safety production meeting that by the end of 2010, through the implementation of gas control projects, a gas management system characterized by reliable ventilation, adequate gas extraction, effective monitoring, and proper management would be established. In this way, the gas concentration at all work sites in the group’s mines would not exceed the levels specified by coal mine safety regulations, thereby essentially eliminating the impact of gas on safe mining operations. In recent years, in the field of gas management, Shaanxi Coal and Chemical Industry Group has adhered to a strategy that emphasizes gas extraction as the primary method, with particular attention paid to pre-extraction. It is required that gas pre-extraction be carried out for no less than 6 months in areas where mining is to proceed, before mining can begin. Each affiliated coal mine, while making full use of safety funds, special funds for gas control, and government bond funds, raised additional capital to invest 500 million yuan in building gas extraction systems in order to achieve complete control of gas. To date, the group has established a pumping capacity consisting of 50 extraction pumps, 25 systems, and over 300,000 meters of extraction pipelines. It is understood that the group also plans to invest 360 million yuan to build 12 large-capacity, high-flow extraction systems. By 2010, the entire group’s gas extraction capacity will reach 10,000 m3/min, with an annual gas extraction volume of over 200 million m3, thereby creating a safe production environment
