A geophysical survey grid extending 100 m by 100 m centered approximately on the longitude and latitude coordinates obtained from COGCC scout card for the well was employed for the magnetic data collection. Total magnetic intensity (TMI) data were collected using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) fitted with a UAV magnetometer. The survey location was is in an agricultural field that appeared to be recently furrowed. The use of the UAV magnetometer to conduct the magnetic survey resulted in no disturbance of the ground surface.

Several cars are reported to be submerged in the river in close proximity to boat launching ramps on both sides of river. The precise location of each car is unknown. A UAV magnetic survey was executed on January 20, 2021 to detect and delineate the cars.

Drone-based magnetometry surveys are increasingly commonplace in locating buried infrastructure, especially pipelines.

Early 3D AI based imaging results herald a promising future of enhanced information from such data acquisition systems leading to superior business outcomes.
