Structure of the Ural-Emben region and its lignite deposits

Abstract

The brown coal deposits of the Ural-Emben region, known since the last century, did not attract serious attention for a long time. And only in recent years, the growth of local industry in connection with the development of the raw material base of this area forced attention to these deposits. Brown coal deposits of the Ural-Emben region can be a serious energy base that fully meets the needs of a rapidly growing industry, freeing up oil and high-quality coal for their more rational use. In the specifics of geological exploration work in the Ural-Emben region, a major role is played by structural issues, covering, on the one hand, the structure of the entire region with the distribution of these deposits, and on the other hand, the structure of individual deposits, which is related to issues of their volume, quality and conditions of their use. Correct structural analysis of these forms is the main basis for their study and exploration. The present work is the first attempt at such an analysis. Lignite deposits of the Ural-Emben region are still in the initial stages of their study and use. The structural analysis we have given in this work of the entire region and its individual deposits goes towards the upcoming large-scale work of prospecting and exploration of new deposits.
