Coal 3D Modeling

Visualization of the coal deposit in three-dimensional space provides a clearer understanding of the coal seam's geometry, distribution, and structural complexities. This is essential for mine planning in determining the volume, tonnage, and coal quality.

3D modeling allows for the integration of various data types, including geological, geophysical, and geochemical data. This integration enhances the overall understanding of the deposit and improves the reliability of resource estimates.

Tabulation data from drilling exploration is the main input for modeling the coal deposit. The table mainly contains collar, lithology, and lab coal quality analysis. The following picture presents the drilling holes with interpretation of multi-seam coal strata. Seam’s coal name and roof depth are plotted in all of the drilling log. The location situated in the South Kalimantan proximity to the coastal area has relatively no undulation.

Spatial visualization and correlation in 3D modeling provides clearer view and understanding of the coal seams geometry, continuity and complexity of geology. The next figure showing multi coal seams horizons or surfaces that is interpolated from roof of the coal seam between boreholes.
