  • What is the Process for Obtaining a Seismic Permit?

    In order to obtain a seismic permit, an application must first be submitted to the Commissioners of the Land Office. The requirements for seismic exploration permits may be accessed here.

    The application fee is $200.00 per permit. A separate permit is required for each county. If the Land Office owns the surface, the permit must state the going rate per shot, mile or acre. If acreage is leased, grantee must obtain approval of the mineral lessee. If acreage is unleased, the Land Office will develop a value for the permit based on appraised value.

    If you have any questions, please contact out geologist at 405- 521-4104 or via email at closeismic@clo.ok.gov
