+LSUFan Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) Howdy everyone, while doing a preliminary search for triangulation station CQ2819 yesterday, we ran across some kind of interesting survey marking/flagging that I've never seen before. There were several wooden stakes drove in the ground spaced every so often apart (like the one pictured below). They each had some orange and white Global Geo flagging attached, with a tag. There were also lots of blue and white Global Geo flagging attached to tree limbs in a line between each stake, leading to the road. As we benchmarked in the area, we kept running across a lot of this flagging many miles apart. I assumed that Global Geo may just be a surveyor supply company, and have their name printed on the flagging....but couldn't really find out anything by a google search. The fact that the datasheet for CQ2819 made mention of measuring off the Louisiana Meridian, made me wonder if this flagging had anything to do with that. I was just curious, and hoped the gurus here would be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks Edited March 21, 2011 by LSUFan Quote Link to comment
+Jayman11 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) looking around a little online it looks like it could be one of many companies but I would almost bet it is this one: Global Geophysical and it looks like they are doing stuff in Lousianna if you look here: http://www.globalgeophysical.com/content.aspx?cid=216 Looks like this is what they are doing: "The seismic data that we provide is processed and used to create highly accurate images of the earth’s subsurface. Exploration and production companies use these images to locate potential oil & gas reserves based upon the geology observed." Edited March 21, 2011 by Jayman11 Quote Link to comment

We were in that corner of Jackson Parish, where they are showing they are conducting testings. Thanks so much for finding that. We just kept seeing so much of this flagging all around the area, that it really got our curiousity up. Now I wonder, if I need to start investing in the land around there.......in case there is oil or natural gas found. Quote Link to comment
+Jayman11 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 LOL....count me in on that. What's oil at about $100/barrel, would be nice to be sitting on top of a few million of those barrels that's for sure. Quote Link to comment
