This lease rider form may be used when you are involved in a lease transaction, and have made the decision to utilize the form of Oil and Gas Lease presented to you by the Lessee, and you want to include additional provisions to that Lease form to address specific concerns you may have, or place limitations on the rights granted the Lessee in the “standard” lease form.
New York Geophysical and Seismic Operations refer to the various activities conducted in the field of geophysics and seismic exploration within the state of New York. Geophysical operations involve the study and analysis of the Earth's physical properties, such as its structure, composition, and processes, using various scientific techniques and instruments. Seismic operations, on the other hand, specifically focus on detecting and measuring seismic waves generated by natural or artificial sources to understand the subsurface characteristics of the Earth. Some types of New York Geophysical and Seismic Operations include: 1. Reflection Seismology: This method involves sending controlled energy sources, such as explosives or vibrators, into the ground and recording the reflected waves using sensors (aerophones). It provides insights into subsurface structures, particularly for oil and gas exploration, groundwater studies, or engineering projects. 2. Refraction Seismology: Refraction surveys measure the change in direction and velocity of seismic waves as they pass through different materials beneath the surface. It helps determine the depth and velocity of different layers within the Earth's crust, aiding in geological mapping and the identification of potential hazards. 3. Microseismic Monitoring: This method focuses on monitoring and analyzing microseismicity, which refers to small-scale, low-magnitude seismic events that occur naturally or as a result of human activities. It is commonly used in hydraulic fracturing operations, mining, and geothermal energy projects to detect and monitor induced basicity and ensure the safety of infrastructure. 4. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR): GPR utilizes radar pulses to image the subsurface features of materials, commonly used for non-destructive testing and mapping buried utilities, geological mapping, or archaeological investigations. It can locate buried objects, evaluate pavement thickness, and analyze subsurface stratigraphy. 5. Gravity and Magnetic Surveys: These surveys measure the variations in the Earth's gravitational or magnetic fields caused by differences in subsurface density or magnetism. Gravity surveys help identify underground structures like faults, salt domes, or ore deposits. Magnetic surveys are useful in mapping geological structures, mineral exploration, or identifying buried ferrous objects. 6. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT): ERT measures the electrical resistivity of subsurface materials to delineate and characterize subsurface structures, such as water-bearing formations, contamination plumes, or geological anomalies like caves. It oftentimes involves deploying an array of electrodes into the ground to measure resistivity at different depths. New York Geophysical and Seismic Operations play a crucial role in various industries, including oil and gas exploration, mining, civil engineering, environmental studies, and hazard assessment. These techniques help us understand the Earth's subsurface, enabling informed decision-making, resource assessment, and ensuring safety in infrastructure development.
