Successful Application of Comprehensive Coal Prospecting Methods in Deep Coverage Area in Zhangwan Exploration Area of Caoxian Coal Mine in Western Shandong
Carboniferous Permian is an important coal bearing position in Shandong province. No.3 coal stratum of Caoxian coalfield in western Shandong is covered with nearly one kilometers of Cenozoic strata. The seismic reflection waves mainly formed by it can be continuously tracked in Zhangwan exploration area, which is main basis for structural interpretation and macro structure interpretation of No.3 coal stratum. Coal strata in the area are in the form of monoclinic structure with the trend of NW and SW, and the dip angle is generally about 2 ° ~ 7 °. Through comprehensive exploration methods of regional geological analysis, structural evolution research and geophysical exploration and drilling, exploration and evaluation of Zhangwan exploration area have been carried out by Shandong Institute of Geological Sciences. More than 600 million tons of coal resources have been determined. It is proved that comprehensive coal prospecting methods of regional geological analysis, structural evolution research and geophysical exploration drilling is effective in coal prospecting in deep coverage areas.
