Hi Dave,
    Google can't find an OPA027 ! and neither can I !!
    OPA27 are very low noise, but they are not Bi-FET The later types are OPA227 LT1007 etc
    In general, FET opamps have a much higher voltage noise than ordinary transistor types. I would not use one by choice in a geophone or a coil sensor circuit. Some of the less expensive / older types suffer from step noise - transient level or pulsed shifts.
 
    When you connect up a geophone, you need to wire the metal case to the earth / shield line.
 
    Regards,
