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.
