WYSTĘPOWANIE PŁYTKIEJ STREFY WYSOKOMETANOWYCH POKŁADÓW WĘGLA W REJONIE PAWŁOWIC (GÓRNOŚLĄSKIE ZAGŁĘBIE WĘGLOWE)

Abstract

THE GEOLOGICAL ASPECT OF THE OCCURRENCE OF HIGH COALBED METHANE ZONE IN PAWŁOWICE AREA (UPPER SILESIAN COAL BASIN)Abstract. The article presents the distribution and extent of the shallow coalbed methane zone based on the methane bearing capacity data, obtained from surface bore-holes drilled in the Pawłowice area. The results of the analysis show that the relief of the top-Carboniferous surface strongly influenced the presence and layout of the shallow methane bearing zone in the study area.
