Abstract:Through comprehensive analysis on coal-bearing strata in Maozhuang coal well in Ningyang coal mine, lithology characteristics and coal-bearing environment of this coal deposit has been revealed. As showed by the results, major coal-bearing strata in this area is the lower Permian Shanxi formation and the upper Carboniferous Taiyuan formation. The total thickness is about 220m. Recoverable or partially recoverable coal layers are upper part of the third coal layer, lower part of the third coal layer,sixteenth layer and serventeenth coal layer. The average thickness is 9.52m. Among these layers, the upper part of the third coal layer, the lower part of the third coal layer are major mining layers. Coal-bearing layers are Carbonierous-Permian Yuemengou group, while Shanxi formation is the most important coal-bearing strata in this area. Depositional environment is the transition period from marine facies to continental sedimentary facies. Rock strata reflect the typical characteristics of Interactive deposition between land and sea. Peat swamp in the delta plain formed by sea regression supplied the material foundation for coal strata of Maozhuang coal well. Among them, Taiyuan formation is a typical marine facies sedimentary with stable environmental, small changes in marker bed and clear and stable coal layer, regular position and coal sedimentary sequence. It is stable regional stratigraphic correlation layers.
