    FUSHUN MINING GROUP CO., LTD. L IAONING PROVINCE Opportunities for Investment in Coal Mine Methane Projects A major coal producer, the Fushun Mining Group Company, Ltd. has one producing underground mine and one open-pit mine. Total coal production in the mining area is about 6 million tonnes of coal annually. The underground mine, Laohutai, drains about 100 million cubic meters (more than 3.5 billion cubic feet) of methane annually, and methane production from surface boreholes has also begun. Significant opportunity exists for expanding recovery and utilization of methane from surface and underground boreholes. The Fushun Mining Group Company, Ltd. seeks investment for expanding the production of methane from surface boreholes and combining it with a portion of the methane recovered from the Laohutai mine to meet the energy needs of the nearby city of Shenyang. Fushun Mining Group seeks investment from China and abroad to for the proposed coal mine methane development project described in this brochure. OVERVIEW OF THE FUSHUN MINING GROUP COMPANY LTD. CHINA Fushun Mining Area LIAONING The Fushun Mining Group Company Ltd. (informally known as the Fushun Mining Group) is a large state-owned coal enterprise with 26 subsidiaries. Located in the city of Fushun in northeastern China’s Liaoning Province, it is about 45 km from Shenyang, the capital of the province, and 126 km from Anshan, a major iron and steel manufacturing center. Although the Fushun area has produced coal for more than 100 years, an estimated 800 million tonnes of recoverable reserves remain. The Fushun Mining Group has total assets of 4.7 billion yuan ($US 566 million).

    7 China 7.1 Summary of Coal Industry 7.1.1 ROLE OF COAL IN CHINA Coal accounts for 69 percent of total national energy consumption in China (EIA, 2014a). Ranking first in the world in production of coal, China exported 16.5 million tonnes (Mmt) of coal in 2011; a sharp decline from a peak of 108.8 Mmt in 2003 (EIA, 2014b). Historically, a net coal exporter, China became a net coal importer in 2009 for the first time in more than two decades (EIA, 2014a).

Johnson (Vice-Chair – Government) U.S. Geological Survey Dr. Mariela Araujo (Vice-Chair – Industry) Shell International Exploration and Production Highlights Progress on oil shale continued in both the United States and around the world, but with a greater sense of urgency in countries with lesser quantities of conventional energy sources. New production capacity was brought on line in Estonia and China, and plans for production moved forward in Jordan. However, reductions and delays in development are starting to appear, particularly in the United States, due to the low price of crude oil. The current status is in flux, but it is too early to know whether we are seeing a repeat of the 1980s. In the U.S., the Utah Division of Water Quality issued a groundwater permit to Red Leaf Resources, which now has the go-ahead to establish a small-scale commercial production system based on the EcoShale process as a joint venture with Total. A challenge by environmental groups was settled by allowing access to groundwater monitoring data. However, that project is now delayed by a year or more, and the time will be used to accelerate design optimization. TomCo received temporary approval to establish a commercial operation using the EcoShale process 15 miles from the Red Leaf operation. Enefit is making progress getting permits for development of its private lands in Utah and successfully resolved a potential environmental roadblock by working with local officials, who created a conservation plan for a potentially rare plant.

Aiming at extra-thick coal seam conditions, this paper numerically stimulates the dynamic process of actual excavation. Results show that failure height increases with excavation volume, thereby increasing the location of abscission layer dropping along with increasing failure height. An abscission layer is formed along the depth, changing the condition of groundwater occurrence and exposing a hidden safety hazard in the field of continuous mining. The simulation results are in line with the fact by verification with drilling survey data. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Open access under CC BY-NC-ND license.

The ecological environment problems in open pit mining and the present situation of coal mining are analyzed. The traditional open pit mining aims at pursuing economic interests, which leads to serious ecological environment problems. Open pit mining will cause the comprehensive destruction of the solid environment, water body environment, gas environment and ecological environment. Ecological restoration of opencast mine and mining Integration techniques is an effective way to solve the environmental problems of open-pit mine; Ecological restoration become as an important unit of surface mining technology, and the green mining technology system is formed; It is defined that the open-pit mining technology green system and the composition of technology units; We put forward and defined "green degree" concept and the connotation; Through evaluating the green degree index of open-pit mining, the open pit are promoted using a series of integration technologies for ecological restoration and mining, and the green mining goal is realized; The Integration techniques of open-pit mine ecological restoration and mining include two aspect of open-pit lifecycle integration, and ecological restoration progress and stripping progress.

John Parsons, QER Pty Ltd Gerald Daub, Daub & Associates, Inc. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Progress on oil shale continued around the world, although many projects have been cancelled recently due to low oil prices. New production capacity was in full force in Estonia and China, and plans for production moved forward in Jordan and Utah, although at a slower pace than expected a few years ago. Some companies are re-optimizing their processes and projects to adapt to the current economic situation. The current status is still in flux, and it is too early to know whether we are seeing a repeat of the 1980s or a shorter-term correction. Oil shale continues to be mined and retorted or burned in power plants in Estonia, China and Brazil. Production rose significantly in 2015, but future expansion is uncertain. In Estonia, Viru Keemia Grupp brought a second Petroter plant on line in Q3 of 2014 and a third unit in the Q3 of 2015, 1 bringing their total installed capacity to ~14,000 BOPD (barrels of oil per day).
