More comments on my earlier post regarding the use of the tests and charts obtained from these tests.  Don't assume that just because the testing is being done that first, there is a something below the surface worth leasing the land and drilling for.  More importantly - if the companies and their attorneys that are paying for these surveys are doing their jobs,  they should also be making themselves aware of areas where they would or should not operate because of potential large scale slippage or fracturing (micro-quakes) or groundwater contamination by introduced fluids and released methane which could potentially impact  residential water supplies.  A Jim mentioned, either of these and other environmental impacts could of course lead to serious lawsuits which these companies would certainly want to avoid.

Hello shantycreekfarms, Thanks for the information. Do you know where abouts they are starting on Rt6?

Hello, i am in the orwell area and yes they are the same people who contacted me. They are supposed to start oct 15 with the line starting up by  rt 6 going southeast all the way to the pa border. Oct first they will start getting surveryors out to plot the course.

Does anyone know if shantycreekfarms comments are related to the same project in ashtabula county on rt.6? Nicholson Land Services is conducting a Vibroseis study along rt.6 in Astabula County. Whatever that is?

I dont know what they told you but they are going to survey a straight 30 mile shot that runs nw by se and are going across country. They will be drilling small holes every 300 feet and placing charges down the hole and setting off a charge.  Geophones will pickup up echos that are placed every 100 to 150 ft apart. They are coming across my property but first they will send a survey crew to mark the path. They have to stay  300 ft from wells and i think 500 ft from all homes and out buildings.Did anyone happen to ask who they are paid by to do the test?

elliemae; we live in a very litigious society. Every one sues every one at the drop of a hat. These companies do what they can to protect themselves from unwarranted lawsuits.

Thanks James and Tom. All that may be true and I would be happy to have them do all the testing they want without a dime in my pocket. I still don't see why they need a signature for permission when the letter states they won't be on your property. I'm just saying its a dog eat dog world we live in and I'd be careful what I signed.

I'm assuming the purpose of the testing is to identify subsurface rock layers and geologic features.  The charts would be used to locate potential formations that hold oil and gas reserves and to provide a benchmark ("before picture") of the subsurface.   I would also assume that they will identify areas where layers might be prone to slippage or fracturing if exposed to underground pressures (natural and man-made) as well as with the predicted resistance or reaction to the insertion of liquids that would act as lubricants between layers.
