We recieved a letter today from Seitel data, Ltd requesting permision to conduct a seismographic survey, including the right to ingress and egress across our land in Shelby county.
They are offering a whopping $15.00 an acre...
First of all what is this? What exactally do they want to do?
And, are they serious? $15.00 an acre!
I also received a letter from Seitel Data stating the same thing. My land is currently not leased, so I'm confused as to why they would want to conduct a seismographic survey.
Some O&G company has hired them to run a seismic survey to determine the potential of oil and gas. This could be a good thing if they get positive results. Might lead to a lease offer. Not sure what the going rate would be in your area.
There is an active well less than a half a mile from our property. It's the Sample well. From what I understand it's big time. We also have a capped gas well on our property. We're in the Stricklan survey if that helps. Thanks for replying to my post.
