As part of the initial site feasibility assessment for the Longleaf CCS Hub, seismic surveying was performed to confirm the underground geology is ideal for this type of project. This work, in summer 2024, was coordinated with appropriate local officials and project neighbors.

Seismic surveys create a localized vibration in a limited area to collect seismic data that will determine if the geology is suitable for carbon dioxide sequestration deep underground. While residents in close proximity (100 feet or less) may feel slight vibrations from vibroseis trucks, these surveys are safe to the public, property and roadways. Similar seismic surveys are performed to locate underground stores of oil and natural gas.
