Abstract

Summary

Six high resolution 3D seismic surveys comprising approximately 31 km2 were recorded for an underground coal mine in the Permian aged Bowen Basin Central Queensland. The colliery had previously interpreted the data with view to identifying hazards at the mined seam level.

The seismic data and an extensive set of borehole data were made available for a Masters Project at the Queensland University of technology with the focus being to study the geology of the interburden.

This paper discusses the background to the seismic surveys and the work flow used for the interburden mapping. Conclusions and recommendations are drawn
