Abstract: Since 2019, a major breakthrough has been made in the exploration of deep coal-rock gas and coalbed methane in the Daning-Jixian block on the eastern margin of Ordos Basin in China. The cumulative proven reserves of the main productive layer, i.e., the No.8 coal seam of Carboniferous Benxi Formation, have reached 3 063×108m3, and also achieved a production capacity of 30×108m3/a. Taking Daning-Jixian coal-rock gas field as a case study, this paper focuses on the goal of enhancing the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) of individual wells throughout the full lifecycle of deep coal-rock gas, and systematically summarizes four key technologies: identification and evaluation of black-gold reservoirs, precise drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and production regime optimization. These technologies are discussed in detail as below. (1) Based on microscopic pore structures and well-logging response characteristics of different macroscopic coal-rock types, a quantitative identification system for black-gold reservoirs was established, incorporating two main categories of indicators, i.e., reservoir geological evaluation and logging parameters. It has been confirmed that black-gold reservoirs constitute the primary gas-producing intervals, and with every 1 % increase in the penetration rate of these reservoirs, the EUR per well can be improved by 1 %. (2) By innovatively integrating five types of gamma-ray curve crossover relationships with X-ray diffraction (XRD) mineralogical analysis, a precise geosteering technology for black-gold reservoirs in horizontal wells was developed. This approach effectively overcomes the influence of microstructures on wellbore trajectory control, achieving a penetration rate of over 80 % for black-gold reservoirs. (3) A black-gold reservoir dense fracture network fracturing technology system was developed, integrating the techniques such as bottomhole pressure-controlled fracturing, multi-cycle temporary plugging and diversion, and multi-size proppant synergistic placement. This system enables the optimized regulation of fracture height, fracture network density, and proppant intensity, thereby establishing a well-connected and fully-integrated fracture network. (4) Through studies on the post-fracturing shut-in for imbibition displacement, water-rock interaction, and production characteristics, the optimal shut-in period was preliminarily determined to be 7 to 10 days. An innovative "three-stage" drainage and production model was proposed, consisting of the primary stage dominated by native free gas and imbibition displacement-induced desorbed gas, the coexistence stage of free gas and desorbed gas, and the stage dominated by desorbed gas. Corresponding pressure control and production regulation techniques were developed, including pressure control with natural flow liquid unloading, pressure control with assisted liquid removal, and artificial lift. These innovations allow 25-day extension of the flow period, 455-day extension of the stable production period, a reduction in decline rate from 50 % to 30 %, and an increase in the average EUR per well by 8.64 %. The establishment of a key technology system for the efficient development of Daning-Jixian coal-rock gas field has become a successful paradigm for the development of deep coal-rock gas in Ordos Basin and even across China.
