There are many reasons why people choose to have gas or oil well surveys. The first key to getting a survey is finding a reliable and professional land surveyor. At D.G Smith & Co., Inc., we offer a variety of services including gas and oil well surveys.
Reasons for Gas and Oil Well Surveys
It wasn’t that long ago when the gas and oil well survey business was booming from the advent of fracturing in Texas. These useful surveys also experienced a boon when horizontal drilling was first introduced. Today, these surveys are still used for many reasons, and not only for oil well surveys.
Gas and oil well surveys are used to map existing wells in addition to identifying areas that offer the potential for new wells. Gas and oil well surveys, however, aren’t only used by gas and oil companies for wells and digging purposes.
Companies and businesses planning a construction project also use land surveyors before beginning. These surveys help contractors and builders to locate and identify wells, including abandoned or forgotten underground wells.
Being able to locate existing wells can save construction projects considerable expenses and headaches. Avoiding these obstacles with the help of gas and oil well surveys can be invaluable.
Finding Professional Land Survey Services
A professional land surveyor will conduct research including legal deed rights and studies of any adjoining properties. Professional land surveyors will also use high-end technologies designed to locate unseen or manmade structures.
The surveyor will use this data to create a geometric pattern that is overlaid onto a digital map. These maps reveal insights such as available areas for digging or the number of potential wells that can be drilled within a property. These maps are also effective for displaying property lines or even new areas to research.
