The article presents science based technological solutions that are essential for the development of the country’s coal mining industry in terms of ensuring safety and efficiency of underground coal mining on the basis of improving in-seam gas drainage technologies using hydrodynamic impact on coal seams. Experimental work on the in-situ testing and approval of the new holistic technology was successfully done in the production panels 24-58, 24-58, 24-60 and 24-62 at the Kirova mine. That included underground hydrofracture of the working seam carried out from the development headings. High effectiveness of the proposed in-seam gas drainage technology was confirmed by effective methane extraction from the working coal seam, reduction of gas content in longwall faces and significant cut-down of equipment nonproductive time in areas covered by active in-seam gas drainage.
