Abstract:
To provide a “no major surprises” guarantee of coal seam conditions, reflection seismic surveying is often used for delineation of faults and dykes that have the potential to disrupt underground coal mining operations. Although reflection seismic methods are usually effective for locating faults with throws greater than 5-10 m for 2D and 2-5 m for 3D seismic data, detection of faults with smaller throws, shears and dykes with widths of a few metres remains a challenge to seismic methods.
