  • Coalmine Methane Under Indian Mining Scenario
    Coalmine Methane Under Indian Mining Scenario CMM under Indian Mining Scenario • In India coal is a reliable energy resource due to limited availability of petroleum and natural gas. • Coal based non-conventional energy is poised to play a major role in India as : 9 It would bridge the gap between demand and availability of conventional energy source 9 International trading scenario in energy sector has been stormy 9 Environmental concerns has given impetus to clean coal technologies. • Under the scenario, Coalbed Methane (CBM) and its subsets like Coal Mine Methane (CMM) and Abandoned Mine Methane (AMM) may find important place in Indian Energy scenario in coming years. CMM under Indian Mining Scenario Development of CBM in India • Out of different sub-sets of Coalbed Methane (CBM), CBM from the deep lying coal deposits (VCBM) has been pursued. • So far 16 Coalbed Methane (VCBM) blocks have been allotted under CBM policy of GoI covering an area of 7807 sq. km and prognosticated CBM resource of 825 BCM. • 10 more blocks have been opened for global bidding. • Several core wells/pilot wells have been drilled in the allotted blocks and are giving encouraging results. • Few operators are planning commercial production from 2007- 08. • The total production potentiality in the allotted blocks is 23 MMSCMD, which is about 10% of the existing Natural Gas demand. CMM under Indian Mining Scenario Coal Mine Methane and Abandoned Mine Methane • Coal Mine Methane (CMM)/ Abandoned Mine Methane (AMM) also subset of CBM is related to mining activities and as per MOU between MoC and MoP&NG, coal producing companies have right of CBM exploitation in their working mines including pre and post mining operations.

  • Megaspores and Other Plant Remains from Lower Gondwana of Singrauli Coalfield, District Mirzapur, U.P
    MEGASPORES AND OTHER PLANT REMAINS FROM LOWER GONDWANA OF SINGRAULI COALFIELD, DISTRICT MIRZAPUR, U.P. By B. s . Trivew Botany Department, Luckmtw Unifersity (Received for publication on October 10, 1952) I ntroduction M icro sto res (Ghosh and Sen, 1948 ; Mehta, 1942 and 1943; Sitholey, 1943; and Virkki, 1945) and pollen grains (Bose, 1950; Rao, 1936; and Rao and Vimai, 1950) have received far larger attention in this country than the megaspores; there arc very few studies of the latter. Mehta (1942) in his investigations on the microspores from shales of M irzapur mentions, “ Three megaspores (319-388(*) with triradiate marks and warty or granular surface”, but these have been neither figured nor fully described. Later, Mehta (1943) published a photo­ graph of a megaspore, but the description was very meagre. The spore is given no name, and no relationship has been established. Sitholey (1943 and 1943 d) discovered a large number of megaspore casts from the Triassic of Salt Range, Punjab, which he named as Triletes Safmii. Saxena (M/S) has recorded a few megaspores probably from the Lower Gondwana of South Rewah, Central India, but the details of his studies have not been published so far. From the Dbekiajuli beds of Assam (7 Upper Miocene or ? Lower Pliocene) Sahni eta l. (1947) figure with­ out any description a single megaspore (265 n). Ghosh and Sen (1948) have figured a few bodies about whose affinities (p. 85) they are doubt­ ful (pi. 13, figs. 128, 129, pi. 14, figs. 130, 131, 132, 136; etc.) but from the figures some of them appear to me to be megaspores.

Palynofloral qualitative and quantitative analysis has revealed two distinct palynoassemblages I and II. The abundance of Scheuringipollenites spp. (40-51%) and sub dominance of Parasaccites spp. (25-30%) characterizes Palynoassemblage-I (277-283m). The dominance of Scheuringipollenites spp. (30-78%) along with Faunipollenites spp., Striatopodocarpites spp. and taeniates (13-28%) demarcates Palynoassemblage-II (102.5-271m). Palynoassemblage-I and II show its resemblance to the upper Karharbari and lower Barakar palynoflora of the early Permian age, respectively. On the basis of the recovered palynoflora, Artinskian age is assigned to these palynoassemblages (I and II). Four genera of megaspores have also been recovered at a depth of 202 m. By the palynofacies investigations, five distinct Palynofacies Association (A-E) has been identified. Palynofacies Association A is demarked by the predominance of the spore-pollen; Palynofacies Association B is characterized by the dominance of structured terrestrial; Palynofacies Association C is dominated by charcoal; Palynofacies Association D is distinguished by the dominance of degraded organic matter and Palynofacies Association E is marked by the predominance of amorphous organic matter.

  • Recast Project Report for Dhankasa U/G Mine Executive
    RECAST P.R. FOR DHANKASA UG MINE-1.0 Mty (MAY-2016) CMPDI RECAST PROJECT REPORT FOR DHANKASA U/G MINE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL The proposed Dhankasa UG Mine has been planned in the Geological blocks of Dhankasa and Naheriya (partly). These Geological Blocks are located in the north- eastern part of Pench-Kanhan Valley Coalfield, District Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh. The area is covered in the Survey of India Topo-sheet No. 55 N/3 (RF 1:50,000) and is defined by Latitudes N 22o17'39" and N 22 o19'33" and Longitudes E 78o59'04" and E 79o01'13". The nearby operating mines are Naheriya UG & Urdhan OC. Naheriya U/G Mine is about 6 kms from proposed Dhankasa U/G Mine. Thesgora and Mathani mines are about 22 kms on the western side of Dhankasa Block. Dhankasa UG will be under the administrative control of Western Coalfields Limited. 1.2 HISTORY OF MINING Dhankasa geological block is a virgin block. Dhankasa U/G project is aimed at bridging the deficit in supply of coal partially from Pench Kanhan Coalfield as well as WCL. The report has proposed the deployment of mass production technology in order to generate higher production and productivity levels. Dhankasa block lies between Sonpur and Naheriya Blocks and Jamunia Block forms the south western boundary. North-south flowing Junapani nalla and east- west flowing Dhankasa nalla pass along the western and southern boundaries of the block. This Report has proposed to exploit proved reserves of 9 sectors in the Geological Block-i.e.

Mahesh Bilwa * Nagamadhu. C. J Prameela. M Department of Earth Science, University of Mysore, Manasagangotri, Mysore – 570 006, Karnataka, Ind ia *E-mail: [email protected] -mysore.ac.in, [email protected] Abstract Palynological investigation of Lower Gondwana sediments of Goutham Khani Open Cast Mine (GKOCM) from Kothagudem sub basin of Godav ari Valley Coalfield, Andhra Pradesh of Peninsular India have revealed two palynoassemblages are related to Early Permian (Barakar Formation). Palynoassemblage – A abundantly occurrence of Scheuringipollenites along with other common taxa like Parasaccites, Ibisporites , Primuspollenites, Sulcatisporites, Rhizomaspora, Densipollenites and Corisaccites and Palynoassemblage – B dominated by Scheuringipollenites along with sub dominance of Faunipollenites, Striatopodocarpites , Parasaccites, Striatites, Tiwariasporis, Rhizomaspora, Verticipollenites , Platysaccus, Primuspollenites, Lunatisporites , Latosporites, Ibisporites and Distriatites. The above demarcated palynoassemblages are applied to correlate with other horizons of Lower Gondwana deposits of India and a lso to fix the relative age for the sediments under investigation. Key words ： Permian Age, Lower Gondwana, Palynoassemblage, Godavari Valley Coalfield, Sothern India. 1.Introduction Gondwana sediments of India can be broadly classified under two main geographic areas like Peninsular and Extra Peninsular regions. Presently based o n Gondwana floral remains like mega and micro fossil evidences can be applied to divide in to Lower Gondwana and Upper Gondwana sometimes Middle Gondwana with remains of Dicardium floral (mixed characters of both Monocot and Dicots) remains. Godavari Vall ey coalfield is a store house for non coking coal varity in Southern India.
