US coal operators turn to technology to improve productivity by steve fiscor, editor-in-chief Overall U.S. longwall production shrunk in 2019. Collectively, this group of 34 underground coal operations produced more than 162.7 million tons, which was about 5.9 million (3.5%) less than last year. In a year where the U.S. saw total coal production drop …

Longwall mining requires removing nearly the entire coal seam underground in long, wide panels that can be 1,400 feet wide and up to three miles long. When equipment that supports the mined area's ceiling is removed, the ground layers above it sink and "subside," often dropping up to seven feet from the original levels.

Energy. Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice (typically 1-2 m thick). The longwall "panel" (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 3-4 km long and 250-400 m wide. Longwall mining produced 176 million tons of coal in 2007, about 15 percent of total U.S. production.

1. The longwall panel is 1000 ft wide and 10,000 ft long. 2. The coal seam has an average thickness of 6 ft. 3. The coal block to be degassed is 1300 ft by 10,000 ft, assuming that the width of chain pillars is 300 ft. 4. The cost of contract drilling for the in-mine horizontal drilling is $50/ft. 5.
