Coal India Limited launches software for better assessment of coal resources

State-owned CIL on Saturday said it has launched a software which will help in identifying thin coal seams under the earth crust and improve assessment of resources of fossil fuel using seismic survey during exploration process. The launch of software assumes significance as the present seismic survey techniques for coal resource exploration have their limitations in identifying the thin coal seams under the earth, which will now be possible as this new software helps in enhancing resolution of seismic signals leading to delineation of thinnest coal seams.

“Coal India Ltd (CIL) has launched a software named ‘Spectral Enhancement’ (SPE),” the maharatna said in a statement.
