Surveying and Permitting

Once the design that best meets the client's objectives is chosen, a detailed offset plan is generated using, where available:

• Digital elevation models (DEM)
• Culture spatial data (pipelines, roads, etc.)
• Geo-referenced and ortho-rectified digital aerial and/or satellite, photography
• Geographical information systems (GIS)
• Permit restrictions
• Safety and environmental concerns

Offset Design is performed to maximize geophysical integrity of the Theoretical Design while producing a safe, operationally efficient and environmentally sound program.

• Determining the coordinates about under less than a meter sensitivity.
• Scouting the lines before data acquisition.
• Scouting the shot and receiver points.
• Orientation of field crews during data acquisition.
• Determining the permitting.
