LSI plays a key role in the petroleum industry in the surveying of wellsites, access roads and pipeline right-of-ways. Before an oil and gas company can drill, it must obtain approvals from the appropriate governmental authority. The wellsite survey plan contains the information needed to satisfactorily process the application permit to drill.

The land surveyors engaged in the practice of oil patch survey work have, through experience, acquired certain skills and judgments that permit them to carry out these surveys under difficult time constraints which is the nature of the business.

The technology, government regulations, environmental concerns, and plan requirements have expanded to where a once simple project can now be very complex.

Technology has taken us to the point where a project that used to take three weeks can be accomplished in as little as one day.

LSI has an extensive survey control network in Northeast Wyoming. This translates into LSI being more efficient and effective providing survey data to their clients. LSI maintains a database of survey control points and sectional data for all completed surveys.
