KPC LOCATION
History
1978
The Government of Indonesia invites tenders from
foreign companies for the exploration and
development of coal resources in east and south
Kalimantan. A British Petroleum International Ltd and
Conzinc Rio Tinto of Australia Ltd joint venture was
successful in bidding for an area of 7,900 sq. km in
two blocks extending 300 km along the coast of
eastern Kalimantan
1982
PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) incorporated in Indonesia with British
Petroleum International Ltd and Conzinc Rio Tinto of Australia
Ltd each holding 50% of the shares. KPC licensed to conduct
exploration and mining of coal based on a Coal Contract of
Works (CCOW) with the concession covering 90,706 ha. The
Indonesian State Coal Company (PTBA) to receive 13.5%
entitlement of all production
1988
KPC decision to proceed with the development
of an export mine with a design capacity of 7
million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) following
detailed exploration and a feasibility study of
prospects close to Sangatta. The prospect has
substantial quantity of high quality coal
reserves, is close to a coast line with deep
water and is strategically located to service
growing markets. KPC subsequently relinquished
most of the original Agreement Area, retaining
1,961 sq. Km
1989
Construction commences in January. The budget
for the project is US$570 M
1990
Work on the large scale mine development
commences in June
1991
All major items were commissioned by late
1991
1992
Commercial exports begin in January 1992
2003
October 2003 sold to PT Bumi Resources Tbk
and East Kutai Regional Government.
2007
July 2007 30% of shares owned by PT Bumi
Resources Tbk sold to Bhira Investment Ltd
(formerly known as Tata Power).
Drill
Drilling activities conducted on the coal
companies to obtain more detailed data and
can be accurately estimated reserves, other
than that the data can also be used to obtain
coal quality, engineering geological data, to
drilling and hydrogeology can be seen
groundwater levels and type.
In Kaltim Prima Coal used core drilling (core
drilling). But before doing the drilling we first
determine the point of the drill to do a GPS
capitalize stake out point. Then do the
manufacture of drill pad (broad and
conditions are tailored to the needs) used
dozer (usually for non-portable rig) while for
the manufacture of portable drill rig pad.
product that comes out is the core of the rock
as shown below
Blasting
In mining company Kaltim Prima Coal, usual used methods of delay blasting. Electric
detonator is a type of detonator that its ignition with electrical current delivered via a
special cable to it on both ends of the tube into the kable electric detonators fitted with
fine wire types are bare electric current which, if passed would glow. In principle, the
composition and content of this type, the same as the detonator detonator usual,
incandescent of fine wire will burn the herb burner and then touch the main field resulting
in jerky waves that will blow up a basic stuffing, so it appears here that the same principle
of electric detonators with usual detonator difference only on switch on. "Delay Blasting":
blasting is performed sequentially few seconds.
OB (Over Burden)
Overburden is the integumentary layer
minerals which usually consists of:
- Top Soil
- Sub-Soil
- Core soil layer (sand Stone, Clay, and
others - others)
Overburden removal is activity to move
material from demolition excavator
(backhoe or shovel type excavators) from
the loading point to the accumulation /
disposal called the planned disposal.
The disposal there are 2 types of backfill and waste dump / outpit dump.Backfill is stacking /
disposal of overburden removal activity results that are within the mine area .Waste dump /
dump outpit is stacking / disposal proceeds overburden removal activity that is outside the
area mine.
Coal Mining
KPCs mining operation is conducted by KPC through our
Mining Operation Division (MOD) and a number of
contractors. KPC does not collaborate with artisanal and
small-scale mining (ASM). This year, we managed to open
one new pit called Tamara pit with an estimated
production capacity of 600 thousand tons of mined coal.
Coal
1. Prima (antrasit)
Prima coal is one of the highest quality internationally traded thermal coals. It is
a high volatile bituminous coal with high calorific value, very low ash, moderate
sulphur, and relatively low total moisture. It is a bright and lustrous coal with high
vitrinite content. Prima comes primarily from six main seams in pits that are
located close to the Pinang Dome. Higher temperatures and pressure in coal
seams near the Dome resulted in coal with lower moisture and consequently
higher heat content. With sparkling black color (luster) metallic, containing
between 86% - 98% elemental carbon (C) with a water content of less than 8%.
2. Pinang (bituminous)
Pinang coal is similar to Prima coal but with higher moisture and
lower energy. contains 68-86% elemental carbon (C) and the
water level of 8-10% by weight.
Stockpile
Serves as a buffer between stockpile and delivery process, as a
strategic inventory of the short-term disruption or long term.
Stockpile also serves as a process of homogenization or mixing
coal and to prepare the required quality. Understanding
Stockpile is a storage area / buildup of coal mining. Stockpile is
also used to mix coal homogenization that aims to prepare a
product of one type of material in which fluctuations in coal
quality and comparable size distribution.
