Accurate coal quality determinations for mining purposes can be determined from the geophysical logs once a minimum assay profile has been generated. When I was working on B.C. Hydro's Hat Creek coal deposit I came up with the idea that the deposit might be amenable to a method of mining that I referred to as "Insitu Analysis and Selective Mining".

Over the past 40 years, coal mining geophysics has moved on from being a niche discipline developed to assist with the deep coal mines of Europe, to an activity applied around the world in a large range of mining and related situations. These include exploration for coal, mine planning, mine operations and environmental monitoring.

Geophysical Technologies for Detecting Underground Coal Mine Voids Forum July 28-30, 2003 – Lexington, Kentucky LOCATING AND CHARACTERIZING ABANDONED MINES USING MICROGRAVITY by Richard C. Benson1, Ronald D. Kaufmann1, Lynn Yuhr1, Richard Hopkins2 ABSTRACT Surface geophysical methods can be an important part of any site characterization effort.

Coal is a low-cost commodity and coal miners profit margins are slim, such that mining companies must maintain tight cost control to achieve acceptable returns. The challenge to coal geophysics is to adapt to these economic constraints and provide cost-effective, reliable methods for exploration and mining requirements. The geophysical methods which have been used in the reconnaissance, pre ...

ground penetrating radar (GPR) performs in characterizing near surface coal mine related features. Coal mining in the Eocene – Paleocene Wilcox Formation (Fisher, 1963) was carried out at Malakoff (near Dallas), Texas and Bastrop (near Austin), Texas in the first half of the 20th century: generally during the period from 1905 to 1940. Most

coal mining - coal mining - Prospecting and exploration: The fundamental objective of coal prospecting is to discover coal resources through a search. In areas where coal mining has not been previously practiced, the search process should result in obtaining coal samples that give reasonable evidence of the existence of a coal seam. Once a seam has been discovered, considerable further …

coal mining, extraction of coal deposits from the surface of Earth and from underground.. Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel on Earth. Its predominant use has always been for producing heat energy. It was the basic energy source that fueled the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries, and the industrial growth of that era in turn supported the large-scale exploitation of coal ...

All coals in Daliuta Coal Mine are buried in the subsurface; strata drilled are, from bottom to top, the Ordovician, Carboniferous, Permian, and Cenozoic. The research area of four‐dimensional (4D) seismic over the Daliuta Coal Mine in Shendong has a total area of 1.2 km 2 and crosses working faces 52303, 52304, 52305, and 52306, as shown in ...

A well‐known difficulty in coal mining is the unexpected occurrence of minor faults, by which the seams are displaced by only one or a few meters. It is practically impossible to predict such faults from geophysical surveys on the surface of the earth.

Geophysical logs can be used not only for qualitative interpretation such as strata correlation but also for geotechnical assessment through quantitative data analysis. In an emerging digital mining age, such a use of geophysical logs helps to establish reliable geological and geotechnical models, which reduces safety and financial risks due to geological and geotechnical uncertainty for new ...

Mine subsidence, which is lateral or vertical ground movement caused by mine voids, can cause building foundations to crack and shift, road beds to shift and in the worse cases, sink holes formation. To mitigate these hazards, engineers turn to geophysical techniques to noninvasively image the subsurface for the presence of mine features.

After coal mining, the peak abutment stress in front of coal face is generally higher than the stable peak abutment stress around the mined-out area. The distance of the peak abutment stress in front of coal face away from the coal face sidewall is approximately 10 m.
