Located in central Poland, the Kłodawa salt dome is 26 km long and about 2 km wide. Exploitation of the dome started in 1956, currently rock salt extraction is carried out in 7 mining fields and the 12 mining levels at the depth from 322 to 625 meters below sea level (m.b.s.l.). It is planned to maintain the mining activity till 2052 and extend rock salt extraction to deeper levels. The dome is characterised by complex geological structure resulted from halokinetic and tectonic processes.Projection of the 3D numerical analysis took into account the following factors: mine working distribution within the Kłodawa mine (about 1000 rooms, 350 km of galleries), complex geological structure of the salt dome, complicated structure and geometry of mine workings and distinction in rocks mechanical properties e.g. rock salt and anhydrite. Analysis of past mine workings deformation and prediction of future rock mass behaviour was divided into four stages: building of the 3D model (state of mine workings in year 2014), model extension of the future mine workings planned for extraction in years 2015-2052, the 3D model calibration and stability analysis of all mine workings. The 3D numerical model of Kłodawa salt mine included extracted and planned mine workings in 7 mining fields and 14 mining levels (about 2000 mine workings). The dimensions of the model were 4200 m × 4700 m × 1200 m what was simulated by 33 million elements. The 3D model was calibrated on the grounds of convergence measurements and laboratory tests. Stability assessment of mine workings was based on analysis of the strength/stress ratio and vertical stress. The strength/stress ratio analysis enabled to indicate endangered area in mine workings and can be defined as the factor of safety. Mine workings in state close to collapse are indicated by the strength/stress ratio equals 1. Analysis of the vertical stress in mine workings produced the estimation of current state of stress in comparison to initial (pre-mining) conditions.The long-term deformation analysis of the Kłodawa salt mine for year 2014 revealed that stability conditions were fulfilled. Local disturbances indicated in the numerical analysis were connected with high chambers included in the mining field no 1 and complex geological structure in the vicinity of mine workings located in the mining fields no 2 and 3. Moreover, numerical simulations that projected the future extraction progress (till year 2052) showed positive performance. Local weakness zones in the mining Wyniki przeprowadzonej analizy numerycznej wykazały, że warunek stateczności wyrobisk Kopalni Soli Kłodawa jest spełniony dla stanu na rok 2014. Lokalnie występujące strefy wytężenia związane są z wysokimi komorami w polu eksploatacyjnym nr 1 oraz złożoną budową geologiczną w otoczeniu wyrobisk zlokalizowanych w polach eksploatacyjnych nr 2 i 3. Prognoza dla projektowanego stanu wyrobisk w roku 2052 (zakończenie eksploatacji) wykazała pozytywne rezultaty. Lokalne strefy osłabienia, które zidentyfikowano w polu eksploatacyjnym nr 7...
In the article the actions are presented, which were undertaken to restart the exploitation in chamber KS-21 on working level 600 in the "K odawa" Salt Mine. The chamber had not been extracted during the exploitation of working level 600 because of the fact that the heading was the way of haulage of excavated material from the so called "part A" of the chamber. The re-exploitation in that place requires getting a deviation from the operative rigour in connection with driving the heading in the salt diapir. In order to attain that, many activities were done to con rm the hypothesis that re--exploitation does not threaten the stability of eld number 2.
Underground mining operations are often associated with the necessity to use explosives. Several hundreds of kilograms of explosives, subdivided into small charges suitable for a specific mining job, are used each time in a blasting operation. In many cases, mining engineers carry out remote central blasting works, which means that all the charges placed at faces are initiated from one control point (usually, a control room in the mine) at the same time. Such coordinated explosions generate para-seismic movements whose consequences can be felt on land surface, with subsequent effects identified in buildings and structures. This paper discusses briefly selected standards applicable to the harmful para-seismic impacts. The author presents the results of the research conducted with the intention to identify harmful effects of the basting works carried out in the “Kłodawa” Salt Mine.
The article discusses a very important problem of oil production. Oil, recognized as a major source of economic development, is themain energy source of the modern world. Unfortunately, Poland has limited oil reserves. However, the production, which meets onlyabout 4% of the demand, is carried out. Oil deposits in Poland are found in the Carpathians, in the Carpathian Foredeep, in the Polish Lowlands, and in the Polish Exclusive Economic Zone of the Baltic Sea. Initially, deposits in the Carpathians were of the greatesteconomic importance, but these are already depleted to a great extent. Currently, oil deposits in the Polish Lowlands are of the greatesteconomic importance. The largest deposit is BMB (Barnówko-Mostno-Buszewo) near Gorzów Wielkopolski. In total, in Poland oilresources amount to 23 598.46 thousand tons, of which 61.37% accounts for industrial resources (14 482.15 thousand tons). The article presents crude oil resources in Poland by regions, i.e. Polish Lowlands, the Carpathians, the Carpathian Foredeep, and the PolishExclusive Economic Zone The resources were divided into anticipated economic, industrial, undeveloped resources and abandoneddeposits. In addition, the three Polish companies involved in the extraction of oil, namely PGNiG S.A., the LOTOS Group S.A. andORLEN Upstream sp. z o.o., were presented. The locations where exploitation is carried out and the volume of oil production in thelast few years were discussed.
