2001: Lake Tuggerah, Australia
|
|
| Location |
Lake Tuggerah, Australia |
| Type of Project |
3D seismic, dual streamer, magnetics and bathymetry |
| Project Goal |
Map the structure of the coal seam to locate all disruptions of the coal seam that would adversely affect longwall mining. |
| Equipment |
Dual 96 channel digital SEAMUX streamers |
| Project Description |
We completed 3000 line-kilometers of dual streamer 3-D seismic, magnetics and bathymetry for COAL OPERATIONS, an Australian power utility company, to map their coal reserves beneath Lake Tuggerah in water depths ranging from 1 to 3 meters. The objective was to map the structure of the coal seam to locate all disruptions of the coal seam that would adversely affect longwall mining. The project was a success, resulting in unprecedented 3-D detail, the discovery of a buried diatreme volcano vent in an important coal reserve area, several igneous intrusions into the coal seam as well as numerous faults and channels, and a major split in the coal seam. |
