Carrying out geological exploration and identifying the general geology is the premise of planning and design of mining area. It’s also the premise of safety and high efficiency production. JiuLongChuan mining area belongs to typical loess plateau area, which is covered by the huge thick loess and whose landscape is mainly composed of loess tableland, valley terraces and low hills. In view of the typical region, it is of great significance to carry out the research on the key technical problems and application of 3D seismic exploration in loess plateau area. Taking JiuLongChuan coal mine as engineering background, this paper combines theoretical analysis and engineering practice to study the technology of the 3D seismic exploration in loess plateau area. Through the research on characteristics of deep structure and seismic excitation parameter, a reasonable method of field seismic excitation is proposed and the seismic conditions are analyzed in the surface, shallow and deep layer. Based on comparing different excitation horizons and excitation frequency, the paper analyses the influence to the seismic exploration and obtains selection method of 3D seismic excitation parameters in loess plateau area. Excitation is selected in hard layer whose well depth is between 10m~16m on the plateau. The well depth is between 3m~12m in the ditch. 6 wells combinational was adopted to stimulate in the areas where loess is thick and water table is deep, 3~5 wells combinational was to stimulate adopted in the areas where loess is thin; each well contains 1~3kg gunpowder, and total dose should not exceed 12kg, good information can be obtained. Under the detail techniques analysis in 3D seismic data process, include static correction, energy compensation, comprehensive eliminating noises, surface-consistent deconvolution and DMO, aimed at the seismic characteristic of loess plateau, seismic data process and relative test have been done using those techniques accordingly.Though the way of contrast and ayalysis of data and test results, the key process techniques and corresponding parameters that suitable to loess plateau have been given, datum select as 1200m, replacement velocity as 3500m/s, and prediction step as 12ms in surface-consistent deconvolution. The paper studies on the prediction method and theory about coal seam structure and thickness in the loess plateau area. It establishes a interpretation method about structure and gives structure distribution about the three blocks of JiuLongChuan mining area. It identifies the main coal seam structure and variations in thickness. There are 10 fold, including five anticlines and five synclines. Exploration of the first block find out 2 normal faults whose falls are more than 5 m and which are broadly in NW direction. Coal seam thickness and variation trend are forecasted by adopting tuning theory and wave impedance inversion method. Based on the tuning theory and wave impedance inversion method, the prediction method about coal seam thickness in the loess plateau area is established. It forecasts coal seam thickness and variation trend in the three blocks of JiuLongChuan mining area. Based on two phase medium theory and the neural network theory, it establishes the prediction method of coal bed gas in the loess plateau area. It predicts the gas enrichment zones in the first and third block. The 3D seismic exploration has obtained three gas enrichment zones. The no.1 relative enrichment zone is located in the north-central detection area, it is near NZ512 drill-hole and its area is about 0.04km2.The no.2 relative enrichment zone is located in the middle-east detection area, it is near NZ702 drill-hole and its area is about 0.78km2. The no.3 relative enrichment zone is located in the east detection area, it is near NZ814 drill-hole and its area is about 0.39km2. The polar change of gas content of eight coal layer is 0~7.5ml/g in the third block. Finally, by contrast results of 3D seismic exploration with results of drill-hole exploration, in the basis of above-mentioned research results, the paper studies questions such as planning of mining areas, mine development plan and coal seam mining suggestion in NingZhong coal field based on geological investigation results of JiuLongchuan coal field, and provides reliable technical guarantee of scientific planning of mining area green mining for JiuLongchuan coal field.
