东奔宁煤田是英国最重要的煤炭资源。勘探和开采是密切相关的，对煤田过去历史、目前发展和未来潜力的研究与英国整个煤炭工业有关。在地方一级，地质情况往往是可变的，储量评估也存在不确定性。然而，煤田的整体开发主要受大规模及易于确定的地质特征（例如存款的大小、煤层厚度及覆盖深度）控制。因此，对煤田规模的研究有助于评估煤炭工业的未来。该煤田的未来产量取决于资源的规模和可回收的比例。历史回收数据进行了讨论和一些地质特征的存款，影响煤炭回收。虽然东奔宁煤田处于成熟的开采阶段，目前深井的产量约为1950年代和1960年代高峰水平的540倍，但即使在塞尔比和阿斯福德比进行了重大投资后，该资源仍未得到充分开发。简要回顾了煤田东缘未开发区近年来的勘探成果。
Abstract The East Pennine Coalfield is the most important of all British Coal’s resources. Exploration and exploitation are closely related and studies of the coalfield’s past history, present development and future potential are relevant to the whole coal industry in the UK. At a local level the geology is often variable with uncertainty attached to reserves assessments. However, the overall development of the coalfield is substantially controlled by large-scale and easily determined geological features such as the size of the deposit, seam thickness and depth of cover. Studies on a coalfield scale can therefore contribute to assessments of the future of the coal industry. The future production from this coalfield depends on both the size of the resource and on the proportion that can be recovered. Historical recovery data are discussed and some of the geological features of the deposit that affect coal recovery are reviewed. Although the East Pennine Coalfield is at a mature stage of exploitation, with output from deep mines currently at about 540f its peak level in the 1950s and 1960s, the resource has not yet been fully developed, even after major investments at Selby and Asfordby. Recent exploration results from the undeveloped eastern margin of the coalfield are briefly reviewed.
