SUMMARY
The research area included in the concession area of PT. Tambang Bukit
Tambi. Administratively it is located in the village area of Padang Kelapo, Muaro
Sebo Ulu District, Batanghari Regency, Jambi Province. Universal Traverse
Mercator (UTM) is located in Zone 48S, 252000 mE - 260000 mE and 9803000 mN
- 98007500 mN. The research aims to build a geometric model of coal seams from
aspects of thickness, continuity, and slope of coal seams and the geological
conditions that affect them in the study area. This study uses surface mapping
methods and cross sections in the correlation of drill log data. Based on the
geomorphological aspects according to Verstappen (1985) the study area was
divided into four land forms namely structural origin geomorphic unit with
anticline hilly sub-unit (S1), structural origin geomorphic unit with homoclinic hilly
sub-unit (S2), structural origin geomorphic unit with valley syncline (S3) and the
fluvial origin geomorphic unit with the Fluvial Mainland (F1). Flow patterns that
develop in the study area are rectangular, subdendritic, and dendritic. The
stratigraphy of the study area from old to young consists of the Air Benakat
sandstone unit which has a harmonious relationship - running in the Muaraenim
sandstone clay unit, and not aligned with Alluvial deposits. The research area is
syncline and anticline from the Horizontal fold (Rikcard, 1971) and Dextral fault.
Deposition environment in the study area is a unit of Water Benakat sandstone
deposited in the depositional environment of upper delta plain and the Muaraenim
sandstone clay unit is deposited in the transitional lower delta plain - upper delta
plain depositional environment (Horne, 1978). Geometry of coal seams is one
aspect that is taken into account in determining subsequent exploration policies. In
general, the geometry of coal seams in the study area was influenced by
depositional sedimentary with brainded steam-controlled due syndication and
subsidence subtypes and due to tectonic controlled due synsedimentary
morphology.
