Abstract

With the steady and fast economical development and the protection of resource and environment, the demand for high accuracy of coal resource exploration is strict. Generally, conventional coal exploration results are shown in two-dimensional geological maps. It is very difficult to represent three-dimensional spatial distribution of geological body in direct and visual way. Based on borehole, two-dimensional topographic and geologic map, coal seam floor contour maps and geological cross sections, this paper reconstructs 3-dimensional spatial distribution of ground surface, coal seam, shape of main faults in study area. Based on multi-source geological data, three-dimensional geological modeling results clearly show us coal seam shape features, coal accumulating scope and intensity of each sedimentary cycle, structural outline characteristics. Therefore, it is a very effective means using three-dimensional geological modeling for the analysis of the coal bed deposition, structure.
