Abstract: Hydraulic fracturing is often used for pressure relief and permeability increasing in highly bursting coal, but it is lack of good effect inspection method. Through establishing hydraulic fracturing apparent resistivity response system, we introduce the apparent resistivity response principle in the process of hydraulic fracturing, and study the apparent resistivity response in the process of highly bursting coal at 1404 bed plate tunnel in Xintian Coal Mine. The detection results show that apparent resistivity on both sides of coal seam of fracturing holes within 45 m range obviously changes before and after fracturing. The changes of apparent resistivity in symmetrical region of fracturing holes are different. Coal seam hydraulic fracturing apparent resistivity response system can effectively determine changes in the fissure of coal field in the process of hydraulic fracturing, forecast range of hydraulic fracturing, which provides the basis to determine the hole distance of hydraulic fracturing.
