They are conducting seismic surveys. I believe the boom is from a truck with a "ground pounder" on it. I have property in Stonewall and have seismic equipment on the ground now. I live in Shreveport and have not heard the boom but would like to. My property is in 15n 14w sec 29.

LP,

The boom you are hearing is the explosive charge set off in an 80 ft. shot hole. They use "thumper trucks" in urban areas or where explosives are not allowed.

That's what we thought it must be but was not sure. Appreciate the information.
How long does it usually take to complete?
