Scouting and Permitting
At AGS, our seasoned field professionals—including vibe pushers, project leads, and line managers—conduct thorough on-site scouting to ensure seamless seismic survey execution. Leveraging years of hands-on experience, they meticulously assess and digitize potential field challenges, identifying any obstacles that could impact operations.
Our proactive approach guarantees a safe, cost-effective, and precisely executed survey, aligning every measurement with your project plan down to the minute.
Following the site visit, we provide a comprehensive, data-driven report outlining terrain complexity, technical constraints, and potential implementation challenges—empowering you with the insights needed for optimal decision-making.
Beyond scouting, AGS streamlines the entire permitting process. From securing local licenses to coordinating with utility companies, national parks, forestry and other relevant authorities, we handle all necessary approvals—so your project moves forward without delays.
