Seismic reflection and refraction are frequently practiced methods for mapping subsurface structure in sedimentary formation in connection with coal, oil, and gas exploration. They follow the laws of reflection and refraction of optical waves in contact with two different media.

The other kind of insitu analysis program that can be run during a coal exploration program is one for insitu coalbed methane (CBM). This is done using a "Quad Neutron" geophysical tool. All coal deposits contain coalbed methane.

I-Coal Exploration and Mining - Lixun Kang,Geophysical methods now play a critical role in many coalfield investigations .The techniques used at an early stage in the exploration program are normally those that give broad-scale information on a large area at relatively little cost. These include air-borne magnetometer investigations, regional gravity surveys and broad-scale

05/12/2019· In general, geotechnical data are obtained by analyzing drill cores and cuttings from boreholes. However, coring is expensive and in many cases the core cannot be fully recovered. In such cases, geophysical logging could be an alternative way to provide the required information from non-cored boreholes.

Exploration Geophysicists, 1966; 1990) and have been summarized in Hoover and others (1992). Various geophysical methods are identified in table 1 (adapted from a chart compiled by Companie General de Geophysique, Massy, France and published with modification by Van Blaricom, 1980). The table identifies the utility of each method in airborne, ground, or borehole

Geophysical method of exploration of coal Products. As a leading global manufacturer of crushing, grinding and mining equipments, we offer advanced, reasonable solutions for any size-reduction requirements including, Geophysical method of exploration of coal, quarry, aggregate, and different kinds of minerals.

05/12/2019· 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

These uranium-bearing coal beds usually can be identified by using other logging methods. A gamma ray log is the most versatile of the geophysical logs for the following reasons: (1) it does not require fluid in the hole; (2) it is not sensitive to small variations in hole diameter; and (3) it can be used to detect coal beds through well casing. In fact, near-surface gamma ray logs of

There are several surface geophysical methods that are applicable to detect subsurface voids:,Mine voids in coal mines are usually encountered as resistiv-ity lows because of the presence of acidic mine water. Other Methods, such as magnetics and ground penetrating radar have been used for detecting subsurface cavities, but can be subject to precision, interference, or depth
