In the paper the problem of coal permeability enhancement by hydraulic fracturing with the lightweight proppant is considered. The used proppant consists of hollow aluminosilicate microspheres ASPM-500. The experimental results of the lightweight proppant influence on the long-flame coal permeability are presented. The permeability of coal with a propped crack is reduced by 4-9 times as the confining pressure is increased by 5 times from 1 to 5 MPa. The permeability decrease may be caused by the proppant pack compaction in the fracture. The use of lightweight proppant, consisting of aluminosilicate hollow microspheres, increases the permeability of long-flame coal with propped fracture (width 0.5 mm) by 7-19.5 times comparing to a non-propped it, as the confining pressure is risen by 5 times from 1MPa to 5 MPa. The effect of the proppant use increases with the rise of compression loads. So, it has been experimentally established, that at confining pressures P = 1, 2 MPa, the coal permeability increases by 7-8.5 times, at P = 3, 4 MPa, by 11-14 times, and at P = 5 MPa by 19.5 times. The lightweight proppant use is a promising direction in the hydraulic fracturing technology development for the degassing of coal seams.
