7/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper describes research conducted by NIOSH aimed at developing a correlation between sonic travel time logging of exploration boreholes and estimates of coal mine roof rock strength.
-
9/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study investigates different horizontal methane drainage borehole patterns, borehole lengths, and degasification times prior to and during panel extraction to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing methane emissions using a dynamic 3D reservoir m...

1/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesMine seals can be remotely constructed in underground coal mines through vertical boreholes when direct access to a fire is impossible or considered to be too dangerous. Full-scale remote mine seal construction research is being conducted at the Nationa...

7/1/1997 - Technology NewsThe approach taken in this research project was to mine only the ore-bearing portion of the deposit using a high-pressure water jet to thaw the gravels and a downhole hydraulic-lift-type pump to bring the ore to he surface as slurry.
-
1/1/1990 - Reports of InvestigationsThe Bureau of Mines preproduction wireless survey system (WSS) and its performance during an in-mine test are discussed in this report. The WSS was developed to reduce downhole surveying time in order to increase the efficiency of drilling long horizont...
-
1/1/1988 - Reports of InvestigationsThis Bureau of Mines report investigates the horizontal trajectory of boreholes drilled in coalbeds using the rotary drilling technique.
-
1/1/1987 - Reports of InvestigationsStimulated vertical boreholes are an effective means of removing gas from coalbeds in advance of mining. This Bureau of Mines report examines the coal mine roof damage potential of stimulation treatments. Twenty-two government-sponsored stimulation trea...

1/1/1987 - Reports of InvestigationsDescribes a project conducted by the Bureau of Mines in which the accurate directional drilling of a borehole was demonstrated with the objective of intercepting a designated target.
-
1/1/1986 - Reports of InvestigationsThe Bureau of Mines conducted studies to compare the effectiveness of the cross-measure borehole system with that of surface gob holes on two successively mined retreating longwalls in the Lower Kittanning coalbed. Only the cross-measure system was in o...
