COAL CORE HANDLING PROCEDURES

Coal Handling
1. Examine Drill Logs, Geophysical Logs and Cross-Sections for nearby drillholes to
determine seam characteristics and consistency IDENTIFY MINING HORIZONS
(Clean and Wash Coal Sections).
Persiapkan dan memeriksa drill log, geophysical log, dan cross check dengan
lubang bor d sebelahnya, untuk menentukan karakteristik seam dan
konsistensi/kemenerusan seam.
2. Plot expected drillhole Graphic Log. Advise Driller, give copy of Graphic Log.
Plot lubang bor. Beri masukan dan saran ke driller, untuk mengisi graphic log.
3. Open hole drilling. Plot drill progress on Graphic Log, actual versus expected.
Open hole drilling, plot kemajuan drilling pada graphic log, yang actual data bor
sama yang di harapkan
4. Plot drill progress on Cross-Section.
Plot kemajuan drilling di cross section
5. TOUCH CORE Coal Seam.
Touch core
6. Remove core from barrel, open core barrel inner split tube.
Ambil core dari core barrel, buka bagian inner split tube di dalam core barel
7. Wash drill mud from upper half of core, cover core with Plastic Tubing (cut
lengthways), cover with half PVC split.
Bersihkan lumpur pada bagian atas split core, di buka, kemudian tutup dgn
plastic tubing, setelah itu tutup dengan setengah PVC
8. Rotate core and remove other half of core barrel inner split tube, wash core.
Putar core, sekarang setengah inner tube ada diatas, diaambil kemudian basahi
core.
9. Take a PHOTO CORE with give mark for TOP and BOTTOM, HOLE ID, and
DEPTH.
Ambil photo core, tapi beri tanda top bottom dan beri note hole id dan kedalaman.

10. LOG COAL CORE without breaking core use knife to scratch core (identify
partings, coaly shale, carbonaceous shale).
Deskripsi coal tanpa memecah core, gunakan pisau utk mengidentifikasi/mengores
batuan (coal, parting, coaly shale, dan carbonaceous shale)

11. Seal Plastic Tubing, COAL IS NOW INSIDE PLASTIC TUBING

Segel plastic tubing.
12. Wrap PVC split tightly with tape and MARK with TOP and BOTTOM, HOLE NO
and DEPTH.
Bungkus core dengan pvc rapat, dengan memberi lak ban dan beri keterangan
untuk Top dan bottom, Hole no dan kedalaman.
13. Continue coring (if still in coal) or open hole drilling.
Lanjutkan coring (jika masih teridentifikasi batubara pada bagian bawah) atau
open hole
14. Take sealed PVC back to Field Camp.
Ambil PVC yang sudah tersegel kemudian di bawa ke camp.
15. REPEAT ABOVE PROCEDURE if other seams are to be cored.
Ulang procedure diatas pada seam lain yang akan di coring

Log Interpretation and Sample Selection

16. GEOPHYSICAL LOG drillhole. SELECT SAMPLE INTERVALS based on
reconciliation of Drill Log and Geophysical Log.

Data Drilling Geophysical Log, Di pilih sampel interval batubara berdasarkan

pengamatan/cross check antara drill log dan geophysical log (reconcile)

17. Set up Logging Table (Seng). Open sealed PVC split. Cut open plastic tubing.
Persiapkan Meja Logging, Buka PVC yang telah tersegel, buka plastic
18. IDENTIFY SAMPLE INTERVALS.
Mengidentifikasi interval sample
19. Separate ROOF, FLOOR or I NTERBURDEN Samples. Cut plastic tubing and reseal in plastic tubing inside split PVC cut to length. Place in Core Box MARK
CORE BOX (Top, Bottom Hole No. and Depth) use Wood Blocks as needed to
record depth intervals.
Pisahkan roof, floor dan interburden samples. Potong plastic yang di dalam
corenya, dan kemudian dalam posisi masih tersegel pada bagian atas bawahnya,
masukkan ke dalam corebox. Beri keterangan di core box, top, bottom, hole no,
dan kedalaman)
20. Slide COAL SAMPLE into Sample Bag. RECORD SAMPLE NO. on card inside resealable plastic bag (kantong obat kecil), AND on outside of Sample Bag.
Masukkan sampel batubara ke dalam kantong sampel. Catat sampel number.
Masukkan di dalmnya kartu yang sudah diisi sampel number di segel dalam
kantung plastic kecil baik itu di dalam maupun diluar sampel bag.
21. Seal sample bag and DOUBLE BAG sample and seal with tape.
Segel sampel bag dan di sarankan untuk di double kemudian di segel memakai
tape.
22. PREPARE SAMPLE SUBMISSION SHEET with details of Sample No., Sample
Type (e.g. Roof, Floor, Parting, Clean Coal, Wash Coal).
Di catat dan di input di dalam PREPARE SAMPLE SUBMISSION SHEET,
dengan detail data seperti sample type, roof, floor, clean coal, wash coal dsb.
23. REPEAT ABOVE PROCEDURE if other cores are to be sampled.
Ulangi procedures diatas untuk memisahkan sampel batubara.
24. Send samples to Lab. MAKE SURE LAB HAS DETAILS OF ANALYSES
REQUIRED FOR EACH SAMPLE TYPE.
Kirim sampel ke Laboratorium dan pastikan analisa sampel batubara secara detail.
