Abstract
Coal maturity data in the form of volatile matter (%Vmdaf and %Vmdmmf) and random vitrinite reflectance (%Ro) have been analysed for the South Wales coalfield. They show that in general coals increase in rank with depth, obeying Hiltās law, and increase in rank laterally from high volatile bituminous coals in the south and east of the coalfield to anthracite in the north-west of the coalfield. Coal rank was acquired both before and during Variscan deformation of the coal-bearing foreland basin. The rank pattern with depth in the eastern half of the coalfield suggests a palaeogeothermal gradient of approximately 218 Ā°C kmā1. Detailed analysis of both %Vmdaf and %Ro data from individual collieries reveals the presence of excursions from Hiltās law which affect one or more coal seams within the Westphalian A - lower Westphalian C sequence. It is shown that the excursions commonly correlate with thrust detachments within the coal seams. Detailed petrological and structural analysis of a sequence of coal seams from Llanilid West Opencast coal site show a complex pattern of variation in %Vmdaf and %Ro, similar to the maturity variations recorded in boreholes through the Westphalian Coal Measures in the Netherlands. However, in South Wales no correlation with coal composition is apparent, but a strong correlation with a newly defined Numerical Deformation Index (NDI) suggests a relationship between coal maturity parameters and deformation. The high pelaeo-geothermal gradients present in the coal-bearing sequence have been modelled using BasinModĀ® software. Initial results suggest that a...
