The First International Coal Exploration Symposium was held at London, England, May 18--21, 1976. Twenty-five papers have been entered individually into EDB and ERA and two into EAPA also. After three general papers on world coal reserves and their distribution, coal supply and demand forecasting, etc., the papers deal with various specific ...

The object of coal exploration is to determine the nature, location and extent of coal resources in a particular situation, such as a coal mining lease or a coal-bearing sedimentary basin, and to identify the geological factors that may affect its economic, safe and environmentally-acceptable mining and use.

Despite this favourable situation for geophysics, exploration for coal in many countries mainly relies on drilling. The main reason for this is that when compared to petroleum exploration, coal exploration is concerned with much shallower targets (typically less than 2–300 m for open pit mining and less than about 1000 m for …

Coal exploration activities to discover coal reserves include creating a geological map of the area, carrying out geochemical and geophysical surveys and exploration …

Geologic studies in the Appalachian region have shown that many parameters of coal beds (thickness, continuity, roof and floor rock, sulfur, and trace-element content, and ash) can be attributed to the depositional environment in which the peat beds formed and to the tectonic setting at the time of deposition.

Usually in coal exploration drilling, the base of the cored interval is the base of a target coal bed, or just below the target coal bed. For continuous core drilling, the core from each core barrel may be laid out on the ground, described, and the sections sampled for analysis; the remaining core is then disposed of. In most cases, however ...
