The proposed conceptual approach to the development of mineral resources of the North and North-East of Russia is a strategy of integrated subsoil development, based on natural and socio-eсonomic conditions, taking into account technical, technological and environmental factors of development. The main directions of research are formulated.

The history of creation and modern directions of scientific and educational work of the oldest educational institution in Russia, which played a significant role in the history of creation of the domestic mining industry, are considered.

Research on the problem of rock fracture in the Institute has peculiarities due to its educational nature and financing of scientific research by industrial enterprises.

A specific feature of potash mines is the need to maintain the continuity of the water protection zone (WPZ) rocks, which are being mined during mining operations.

Mining engineer, Professor Dmitry F. Borisov for fourteen years, from 1954 to 1968 headed one of the leading departments of the Leningrad Mining Institute - the Department of Reservoir Deposits Development.

The development of potash beds is complicated by sudden salt and gas emissions. Such emissions are observed in the USSR during the development of Verkhnekamskoe and Starobinsky potash deposits.

Physical and mechanical properties of salt rocks were investigated in laboratory and mine conditions in relation to the problems of rock mechanics-calculation of rational parameters of the chamber system of development and identification of regularities of manifestations of rock pressure. These tasks are of great importance in the development of Starobinsky potassium salt deposit, represented by several potassium beds, occurring at a depth of 420-640 meters from the surface. Two potash beds with thicknesses of 1.8-4.0 m and 4.5-7.0 m, occurring respectively at a depth of 420 and 580 m, are being developed at the deposit.

One of the most common measures to prevent sudden coal and gas emissions in longwall faces of single emission-hazardous flat seams, as well as for the preparation workings and opening of emission-hazardous seams in the Donbass is the drilling of advance wells ...

After carrying out a well in the coal bed in the immediate vicinity of it due to redistribution of gas pressure, filtration of gas contained in coal begins. In this case, the intensity of redistribution of gas pressure in the zone of influence of the well depends on the initial gas pressure in the formation, its filtration and sorption characteristics ...

Sudden emissions of coal and gas in cleaning faces of single seams of Donetsk basin are currently prevented by drilling of advanced wells of large diameter. About 30% of faces of all emission-hazardous seams of the central region of Donbass are developed with application of drilling of advance wells as protective measures. The schemes of wells location relative to the cleaning face are different, and the frequency of their location excludes emissions. As is known, the mining pressure and the pressure of the gas contained in the coal are the main factors determining the occurrence and flow of the release ...

One of the main ways to prevent in longwall faces of single gently sloping seams of sudden coal and gas emissions is to weaken the coal mass with large-diameter advanced boreholes. These emissions in recent years in the mines of Donbass exceed 25% of all emissions. Despite the relevance of the method until recently there is no universally recognized methodology for determining the density of the protective network of wells. The radius of influence of wells is calculated according to the formulas of V. V. Khodot, A. V. Pavlov or according to the method of MacNII ...
