<div> There at GOMS is a thread about seismic testing that rather attacks (loosley called) thumper trucks. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://gomarcellusshale.com/forum/topics/seismic-testing-2?page=2&commentId=2274639%3AComment%3A350440&x=1#2274639Comment350440" target="_blank">http://gomarcellusshale.com/forum/topics/seismic-testing-2?page=2&a...</a></div>
<div> I would think it would be wise to address what you see here. DATA specs such as weight distribution upon the tires PSF imprint and compair it to say the PSF of a farm tractor with loaded tires. What would be good would be a field video of a farm tractor in say a soft or marshey area and its imprint or grave, lol, might be as in comparrison to your vibrosis units. Address the soil compactation of the contact area as well. A good example would be say the PSF that a loaded grain gravity wagon would have in a field as compaired to your units as well.</div>

<div> Please note but I am not trying to argue here, but rather get data to learn from. As far as payment goes for such testing thats your personal business. Personally I do not believe the trucks would be that bad except possibly in some real bad spring thaws but what isn't? Hopefully they will provide info to us.</div>

<p>This has been an interesting and informative thread for me. In this great and resource bountiful country of ours, it seems that too many folk still suffer from the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) syndrome, that is, until the royalty checks start appearing in the post box in the front yard!</p>

<p>interesting conversation - Veritas just finished survey on family property in Clinton County, PA. It would have been impossible to navigate up to 50% slope with anything except a tracked drill or by flying in drill rigs by helicopter.</p>
<p>They can produce a map showing potential drill sites and listening sites, I assume any other company could also, based on their surveyor's reports of excluded zones for drilling. You should see one when approach you to lease with a general grid of potential sites, then they gave us one marking domestic water sources and other springs, pipelines, dwellings, etc. that were excluded due to sensitive nature of the area and it showed where they were going to locate their stuff. They also preformed both pre and post water tests and shared the information with us regarding wells and springs used as water sources.</p>
<p> The worst thing to me is that they are all over your land for a several months - surveying, drilling, putting equipment out, picking equipment up, fixing break downs but that is why they pay you. They explained to me they like to have about 20 listening lines down, 10 on each side of blast line, for best results. Then they pick it up and move it one line at a time to maintain that ten line buffer for listening. I only have experience with Veritas but I found them quite accommodating.</p> Had a visit yesterday from a…tag:gomarcellusshale.com,2012-09-28:2274639:Comment:3501042012-09-28T00:21:25.378Zbruce chttps://gomarcellusshale.com/profile/brucec
<p>Had a visit yesterday from a guy from Front Runner Seismic/Vector Seismic Processing, he is working to get 1100 Landowners signed up in NW Mahoning & SW Trumbull for testing April-Oct. 2013, he left a 1 Page "Permit to Conduct Geophysical Operations" Form, at $5/Acre for 18 months, I think this sounds like low$$ & a long time frame.

Has anyone gotten a better offer?? I asked him who they are doing the work for, he mentioned BP, Chesapeake & Eric Petroleum. I told him the 1 page form was very vague and gave him the 7 Page form from the ALOV website, he had gotten it from others. He told me the company was reviewing it and he would get back to me.</p>

<p>The old Thumpers were Weight Drop, a large rectangular weight dropped from about 10 feet from a draw works at the back of a truck. These Thumpers worked on the pricipal of simple gravity. The last of these were phased out in the mid-1970's, as Vibroseis had already superceded the Thumpers.</p>

<p>Vibroseis works by hydraulically jacking up a portion of the weight of the truck onto a heavy rectangular plate. Then, the plate is (via hydraulics) vibrated through a sweep of frequencies (typically 8-80 hz.).</p>
<p>The large rectangular pad on a typical Vibroseis truck exerts around 32 tons of force as it pounds the ground (in a merciless fashion).</p>
<p>It will definitly leave its mark in un-compacted soil.</p>
<p>It will definitely compact soft soil, giving gophers more than a simple headache.</p>
<p>While working in the desserts of the Middle East, I could navigate travel cross country (pre-GPS days) by using old seismic survey maps. You could clearly see the pad marks still deeply impressed in the sand and soil from surveys that had been completed 15 years previously. </p>

My post reads funny. I meant when they do the vibrations by dropping the heavy plate. That surely would flatten the ground IMO. I do still think those trucks would get stuck before a tractor but than again I decided that just by the vibration trucks I've seen here. There like a big heavy box that stay in one spot a while or move like a sloth and in a wet field I can't image they wouldnt have problems.<br></br> they didn't use the trucks in the above picture here.
I wonder if sand behaves different?…

I wonder if sand behaves different? I grew up on sand (new jersey) and we didn't seem to get stuck as much as here when its wet or see awful ruts like I do here. Could just be I do different stuff now and jersey taxes are super high which reflect in there roads all being paved (most of them, I just never seen a dirt road in jersey anywhere in 26 years :0) ). Rather have a rut than those taxes again.
