Modelling of the Dubňany lignite seam base in the Moravian Central Depression (the Czech part of the Vienna Basin)

Abstract

This paper deals with the methodology of modelling the Dubňany lignite seam base and its tectonic failure. Tectonic pattern of the Vienna Basin has been subject of many studies. Opinions on its origin have been developing. Coal seams in the South Moravian Lignite Coalfield were modelled under the project of the example modern evaluation of the coal deposit. Designed software with application of modern mathematical, statistical and geostatistical methods and SURFER program were used for coal seam modelling. Input data were taken from detailed mining, deposit and well exploration carried out for more than 50 years.
