On the site of a former landfill, ZAPATA conducted electrical (DC) resistivity imaging to determine the bedrock/overburden contact in order to identify possible buried stream channels. The geophysical data were very effective in mapping subsurface geologic formations and delineating sand and gravel channels incised into the bedrock.
ZAPATA completed the delineation of a natural gas reservoir for development purposes in Mesa County, Colorado, with 25 miles of high resolution 2D seismic reflection. Using its iVi Envirovibe as the seismic source, ZAPATA successfully mapped the producing horizon at depths below 1000 ft. below ground surface, completing data acquisition in an environmentally sensitive area with minimal disturbance.
ZAPATA has installed and for several years monitored a network of passive seismic stations in the vicinity of Brawley, California. The network has allowed the detection of many more seismic events than are recorded on the southern California network established by USGS, and the hypocenters of the events have been located and mapped to monitor any seismicity around the geothermal well field.
ZAPATA performed several mine subsidence investigations for DRMS in support of its Inactive Mine Reclamation Program (IMRP). These projects provided invaluable information for DRMS to design and implement a mitigation program. ZAPATA employed a suite of surface and downhole geophysical mapping methods delineating old mine workings beneath the residential area of the CCC.
