Seismic Survey part 3

The Geokinetics' helicopter was back in the neighborhood delivering equipment to the workers as they connect the network of geophones for the seismic survey.



The following photo is the equipment bag that was dropped off in our lawn by a helicopter.



This photo shows some of the geophone placed on our property. This location, in our lawn, has six geophones (the blue dots) and the cable network that sends the collected data to the transmitter unit.



This photo shows the data transmitter (box with yellow antenna) and the battery pack (red box). When the seismic survey is conducted, controlled explosions will be detonated to create a seismic shock wave that will travel through the underlying rock and be reflected back to the geophones.

The triggering of the explosive charges and data collection for this area is done with radio signals to/from a command center located in a truck on route 706 near Camptown.
