TECHBASE - Coal Package

Coal Tasks

• Written in conjunction with the Pittsburg and Midway Coal Company over a 2 year period of intensive field testing and iterative task writing
• Tasks are organized in narrative format with explanatory manuals
• Tasks set up a TECHBASE database, load coal data
• Model topography, coal seams
• Plot isopach thicknesses of coal, interburden, burn lines mined limits
• Structure contours
• Stripping ratios
• Calculate volumetrics/ tonnages
• Plot down hole logs
• Draw cross sections

Mapping

• Base maps
• Isopach Maps of Coal Thickness, Interburden, Mined limits
• Topographic Maps
• Geologic Maps
• Drill Hole Location Maps
• Land Maps
• Maps of Land Features

Logs

• Plot Geology as patterns and/or colors with descriptions.
• Plot Analyses as values, histograms or traces.
• Templates provided with software - or create your own.

Statistics & Graphs

• Summary Statistics
• Correlation & Regression
• Cumulative Frequency Plots
• Duplicate Data Check
• X-Y (Scatter) Plots
• Histograms
• Time Series DiagramsTernary Diagrams - Triangular Plots

Model Data

• Composite (average) down hole data into intervals, rock types, benches or user defined variables
• Model your data using any of 7 modeling algorithms including Inverse Distance, Kriging, Triangulation, Trend Surface And Biharmonic (Minimum Curvature) to interpolate between data points
• Populate 3D block tables or 2D cell tables using TECHBASE modeling
• Create variograms to better model your data
• Locate data within boundaries such as land ownership

Cross Sections

• Plot Surveyed or unsurveyed holes
• Plot Geology as patterns or colors
• Plot analyses as values, histograms or traces
• Cross, top and side views
• Fence Diagrams

Database Storage & Reporting

• Store data in a TECHBASE Database
• Report layer-by-layer volumes and reserves for layered deposits
• Define your own data parameters, limits, type, perform inter-record calculations
• Special fields designed for Coal Data
• Full filtering, searching, validating capabilities
• Connect to ODBC compliant databases
• Load data from external sources or enter directly into TECHBASE
• Create reports of data in full, subsets, averages, totals and more

Productivity Module
Create tasks using the TECHBASE Technicn program to automate:

• Cross-section, log, map creation
• Create tasks for any TECHBASE module
• Combine tasks into organized steps
• Create input screens for use by non-technical personnel
• Limits = your imagination!
