(PLO)- On February 16, Mining Geology Joint Stock Company – TKV completed drilling hole MK1227. With a depth of 1,320m, the MK1227 borehole achieved the record of the deepest exploratory drilling project in Quang Ninh coal basin up to the present time.
Drilling hole MK1227 was built by drilling group 12, Mining Geology Company, Vietnam Coal – Mineral Group (TKV) under the Mao Khe coal mine exploration project, granted exploration license by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment No. 153 /GP-BTNMT dated August 24, 2020.
The project has the task of exploring 25 coal seams from seam 1D to seam 12, within the limit of elevation from seam to -1000m with the objective: Design exploration to upgrade 122 reserves to reach 87% for the strata from -150m to -400m, 86% floors from -400m to -600m. The scheme has designed a number of boreholes up to -1000m deep in order to identify coal reservoirs, search and assess potential resource reserves below -600m to the bottom of the coal bed.

Through field survey and stratigraphic research, the drilling hole MK1227 is located in the high and steep hilly area of Trang Luong commune, Dong Trieu town, Quang Ninh province. The geological features here are very complex. The road to the construction site is very difficult, with many steep sections, sharp and slippery turns, making it very difficult for workers to travel and transport materials for production.
According to experts’ evaluation over the years, to complete the construction of drilling holes over 1000m deep in Quang Ninh coal basin often occurs quite a lot of risks, the risk of incidents at deep drilling works is very high. High.

The work has a design depth of 1,220m and is further extended to 1,320m to perform the following tasks: Studying stratigraphy, tectonics, determining the thickness of the main coal seams: from V.12 to V. 6T. With very complicated construction conditions of the project, Mining Geology Company has well prepared and has optimal solutions focusing on 3 main areas: Human resources, equipment and technology for the construction of heavy boreholes. this point.
Mining Geology Company has invested in buying new drilling machine HXY-5A, boom, pipe, pump, mortar mixer… synchronously and always with backup equipment; Concentrate a team of highly skilled technical workers, many years of deep drilling experience, arrange human resources to work continuously in three shifts, eat and sleep at the construction site, highly qualified and flexible construction managers. Actively sensitively, synchronously deploying measures to prevent and treat incidents, strictly complying with technical procedures and regulations in operating geological drilling machines.
Up to the present time, MK1227 project is the deepest mineral sampling hole constructed by Mining Geology Company in Quang Ninh coal basin. The completion of the borehole has confirmed the management, construction, workers, technical staff and existing drilling equipment capacity of Mining Geology Company to fully meet the requirements of construction works. Drilling process to take mineral samples over 1300m . deep
The completed drilling hole MK.1227 has great significance for the collective, staff, employees of Mining Geology Company to practically celebrate the 20th Trade Union Congress of the Company for the term 2023 – 2028.
After more than 5 months of construction, the MK1227 borehole was completed and finished at a depth of 1,320m to ensure safety, productivity and quality goals.
With the strategy of “From mineral resources and human resources to become rich and strong” of TKV, in the coming time, exploration and survey work needs more deep geological exploration drilling works to prepare coal resources. serving mining projects, contributing to the well-adjusted development planning of Vietnam’s coal industry.
In addition to its responsibility in geological exploration, Vinacomin has continued to actively share responsibility with the community through many outstanding social welfare activities. In Quang Ninh, TKV inaugurated the construction investment project of 12-11 Square in Cam Pha city, phase 2 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the Party Committee of Block and Party Committee of TKV, with a project value of nearly 100 billion copper; supporting nearly 1 billion VND to remove dilapidated houses for 16 households with extremely difficult circumstances and poor households in Quang Ninh province through the Quang Ninh Red Cross Society.
In the Central Highlands, TKV has supported units and organizations in Dak Nong province with over 10 billion VND to build schools, medical stations, repair dilapidated houses in poor communes…
