2.2. Geophysical Characteristics. In order to avoid the multisolution of the single geophysical exploration method, improve the accuracy of exploration, and have a qualitative understanding of the geophysical characteristics of the exploration area, the resistivity logging method [24, 25] is used to study the resistivity distribution law of different depth strata in the exploration area.

In conjunction with "direct" information from drilling, geophysical borehole surveys and often also in combination with Vertical Seismic Profiling, we are able to determine the quality of a deposit. For more than 25 years, for example, the in-seam seismic method has proved successful in the exploration of underground hard coal deposits.

Because surface coal mining is constrained to shallow seams, most exploration is achieved by drilling methods, with geophysics playing a supporting but subordinate role. Also surface mining is less sensitive to seam disturbances such as faulting, rolls and intrusions, and can afford to set less strict requirements for prediction and resolution.

Geophysics can play a significant role in addressing a wide range of coal mining and exploration problems. The primary advantage of using geophysics is that it often provides a non- invasive way of obtaining quantitative information about the subsurface geological structure and of potentially hazardous ground conditions.

Drilling is the most reliable method of gathering information about a coal deposit and the mining conditions. It provides physical samples of the coal and overlying strata for chemical and physical analysis. Spatial patterns Numerous factors are associated with a drilling program. One is the spatial pattern of the holes in an exploration area.

What are geophysical soil exploration methods? Geophysical methods, which are widely used in highway work and in other applications, can be implemented more quickly and less expensively and can cover greater areas more thoroughly. They tend, however, to yield less definitive results requiring more subjective interpretation by the user.

There are two main ways of approaching oil exploration. The first one is related to geological methods, and the second refers to geophysical methods. This last method is applied when the terrain does not pose the same structure in the surface as in the subsoil. This feature is commonly present in areas such as deserts, forests or marshes.
