The emission of hazardous gases from surrounding rocks is one of the major factors threatening the safety of deep underground engineering construction. In particular, for non-coal-bearing strata, increasing attention has been paid to identifying the types of hazardous gas reservoirs and predicting the gas release patterns from the surrounding rock. This study reveals the generation and occurrence mechanisms of hazardous gases within magmatic rock strata in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Based on the characteristics of the gas reservoirs, a model test was conducted to analyze the deformation of the surrounding rock and the gas migration behavior during tunnel excavation. To represent the characteristics of low-porosity magmatic rock fracture reservoirs, a gas migration-release evolution model was developed based on the ideal gas law. The evolution of gas migration and release in the surrounding rock throughout the tunnel excavation process was investigated. Furthermore, the influence of borehole layout on the tunnel face on the gas release efficiency was examined. The results show that the long-term gas release process can be divided into three stages: stable release stage, gas replenishment stage, and residual gas release stage. Before the tunnel intersects the reservoir, the gas escape is primarily driven by pore seepage. After the tunnel enters the reservoir, the fracture gas velocity increases rapidly and then decreases gradually, with the escaping gas predominantly originating from the reservoir fractures. In addition, the installation of exhaust boreholes results in an "S-shaped" increase in the gas flow volume at the tunnel face as the borehole area increases. The gas release efficiency is maximized when the ratio of the fracture trace length to the exhaust borehole area (l/a) ranges between 0.064 and 0.096. These findings provide deeper insights into the gas migration and release characteristics of tunnel surrounding rocks in magmatic rock strata.
