ABSTRACT:
The method of mining coal entails the use of crude petroleum under high pressure together with elevated temperatures in hydraulic fashion to produce a hybrid oil-coal fuel. A powerful stream of oil is aimed at sections of coal strata to disintegrate the coal. The resultant slurry can be recycled for reuse in the mining operation with provisions being made for screening out the larger coal particles. When the oil-coal slurry reaches the desired consistency, it can be pumped for storage or pipeline delivery to consumers or processing plants.
