of Karakansky coal deposit here.
As per geological data, coal-bearing capacity of “Karakansky-Zapadny” seam is fairly high with overall coal-bearing ratio of 12.42%. Profile cut of coal-bearing strata at licensed plot “Karakansky” shows 19 coal beds with total aggregate capacity of 51,8 m.
3-D geological modelling of Karakansky coal deposit was carried out basing on developments of French geological service (BRGM), actualized in 3D Geomodeller software. Subsurface modelling covered licensed plots “Karakansky”, “Karakansky-Zapadny” and “Karakansky-Gluboky”.
High accuracy of developed geological model is determined by substantial scope of drilling works (a total of 581 wellholes) completed on the licensed plots. On depths below horizon – 100 m coal beds are generically built basing on geostatic approaches for predicting the positioning of coal beds.
