Drilling a well or launching a resource project without understanding what’s underground is like flying blind. The cost of a single dry well can set you back tens of thousands of dollars—not to mention the time and permitting headaches. In this post, we highlight the top five indicators that it’s time to get a seismic or geophysical survey first.
5 Signs:

- The terrain is variable, rocky, or unpredictable
- You’re investing in a large-scale ranch or agricultural expansion
- You’re considering an oil feasibility project but need proof of viability
- You want to secure financing or environmental permits with solid data
If even one of these applies, don’t move forward without a subsurface survey. It could save you tens of thousands and prevent irreversible err
