PRESENTATIONS | OFFSHORE SESSION

Vision and challenges using autonomous solutions in the Energy sectorSurveying with Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) is recognised within Shell as a key differentiating technology. The Geomatics teams across Shell have been actively driving the deployment of MASS on a variety of projects ranging from the interrogation of seabed nodes during seismic operations offshore Nigeria, LNG terminal bathymetry verification in Gibraltar, to large scale hydrographic surveys off the coast of West Africa. This paper will cover the highlights and best-practices learned in the recent years. We will also cover the key challenges faced in the deployment of this fast developing and promising technology.

Dynamic laser scanning from small subsea vehiclesThe new collaborative Micro Inspection Skid delivers high accuracy laser inspection on inspection class ROVs and man-portable AUVs. As the offshore industry shifts to use small easily deployable vehicles to reduce project costs, we find that the capability of these vehicles is limited by the range of sensor payloads they can deploy. By combining new miniaturized sensors, the 2G Robotics Micro laser scanner, iXblue Rovins Nano, and Nortek DVL 1000, 3D laser modelling is now possible on vehicles with limited power, weight, and size requirements. This capability has been demonstrated with the modelling of a Canadian Shipwreck.

DriX as an efficiency multiplier against ROV for pipeline pre-lay survey in shallow waterExamination of DriX as an alternative to ROV based pre-lay survey in shallow waters. How does the real world deployment of DriX compare with theoretical savings and efficiencies including challenges of endurance, economics and logistics against proven ROV methodology? What new improvements will allow DriX to be a disruptive solution in the energy sector?

Current and future planning for REMUS UUVs Nick will be presenting on the current fleet of Underwater Autonomous Vehicles currently manufactured by Hydroid, Inc in the United States and will also be looking forward to where this technology is leading and how, with the now standard integration of the iXblue Inertial Navigation Systems, this is giving Hydroid a better advantage in the markets they offer the vehicles to and the future concept designs that smaller INS systems now allow.

Technology impact on our part of the industryThose of us who have been in this business for some years have experienced a dramatic change in technology which in turn has had a major impact on how we work and what we can achieve. The changes are continuing with an increased speed and we are now facing a new technology revolution by remotely controlled and unmanned operations utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Smart subsea robotics to promote cost-efficient and flexible offshore operationsForssea recently developed a smart ROV and a new visual positioning system and partnered with iXblue to facilitate the interfacing of INS systems onto their innovative robotics platforms. In this presentation, Forssea will introduce 2 milestones of this collaboration:• Agile LBL: a revolutionary method to deploy and recover

LBL frames using the Atoll ROV system. Recent tests were organized off the Mediterranean coast using iXblue Canopus LBL and sparse-LBL transponder and Gaps LBL positioning system.

• V-LOC: visual localization technology that uses image treatment and inertial fusion to output absolute positions of subsea vehicles. Forssea will present a subsea pipeline use-case.

Supervised multi-agent autonomy for cost-effective subsea inspection Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair (IMR) service providers utilize remotely operated vehicles (ROV) tethered to a surface vessel and piloted in real-time to evaluate and manipulate the subsea infrastructure. This talk will present a novel deployment technique that uses an untethered semi-autonomous underwater vehicle equipped with Schlumberger high-bandwidth acoustic telemetry capable of video transmission to the surface. This system augmented with real-time inspection analytics delivers a novel human-in-the-loop ROV-like command & control, but with significantly reduced support operational expenditure. We present the results of an open-water collaborative mission comprising the OneSubsea UROV working in tandem with iXblue’s Unmanned Surface Vehicle, DriX, to successfully demonstrate wireless video uplink and USBL positioning over 1,000 m of water depth.

Sabertooth deep dives outside ToulonDuring March of 2019 SAAB was involved in trials with Sabertooth system doing +2000msw surveys using iXblue Phins, Workhorse RDI Doppler and Avtrak 6 as primary navigation package. Exercise to prove Sabertooths capability to vertical dive to great working depth and execute survey mission with high end navigation performance. Lesson learned from Toulon exercise: what worked well, improvements to be made. SAABs view on navigation platforms for future application in more demanding environments, +6 months resident capability, ultra-deep dives etc.

The blueSeis-3A sensor: First results from field tests recording rotational ground motions on volcanoes, active faults, and tall buildingsSeismology has been waiting long for a broadband sensor that measures the rotational ground motions in addition to the classical three components of displacement. There is a wide range of applications ranging from correcting classical seismometers for (possibly strong) tilt contamination, extracting additional features from seismic wavefields, and better resolution for seismic tomography and earthquake source problems. We will report on first field studies indicating the potential of this new seismic instrumentation concept.

Towards 4-D imaging of volcano subaqueous degassing Volcanic gases are the leading forces of volcanic eruptions but also inject Greenhouse Gases into the atmosphere. Even though ~75% of Earth’s volcanism occurs below the sea surface, volcanic gas quantification in aqueous environment remains challenging, thereby limiting the understanding of volcano degassing behaviour as well as its contribution to the atmosphere. Hydroacoustic measurements make the monitoring of many volcanoes a quantitative and economically feasible approach to better constrain volatile output from subaerial volcanoes. Mutualizing the knowledge and technology between universities and industrial sectors in hydroacoustic appears as an appealing way to accelerate research and R&D of new technologies.

How can recent improvements of underwater navigation impact on AUV autonomy?The accurate localization of scientific data is a key factor in the ability of AUVs to run missions that are increasingly powerful in terms of endurance, environment perception, payload and data acquisition, and decision-making capabilities. In this regard, navigation drift is a limitation to long duration dives, even when using latest sensor technology. The use of long

Deploying DriX from a Survey Vessel’s davit - NOAA’s sea trialsU.S. NOAA recently integrated DriX USV and its Deployment System (DDS) into its daily hydrographic survey operations to demonstrate hydrographic survey force-multiplier capability in offshore waters. Those trials, conducted from NOAA’s hydrographic survey vessel, SS Thomas Jefferson, aimed at seeing if DriX could overcome the drawbacks of many ship-deployable USVs such as their speed, sortie endurance, ability to collect multibeam data in moderate sea states, as well as the difficulty in deploying and recovering them from a pitching and rolling ship in a seaway. This presentation will show what has been done and how easy and reversible it is to accommodate a DriX and its DDS on an existing davit.

Black Sea – Lots of methane but where is the gas hydrate?Gas hydrates (GH) are cage like structures of water molecules that bound a large volume of gas inside. GH are found at almost all continental margins worldwide. Natural gas hydrates are primarily formed from methane gas (CH4), which experiences an increasing demand in the course of replacement of coal as energy resource. Within European waters the Black Sea is known to be the largest marine reservoir of dissolved CH4. Hence it has become a target for Germany’s GH investigations. Interdisciplinary investigations revealed the distribution of gas hydrates but leave open questions on the available volume. Seismic surveys rely on Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) to support remote sensing of physical properties. Cable controlled deployment of OBS systems at very short offsets is undertaken using iXblue Posidonia USBL.

baseline arrays or ship-born USBL resolves these limitations but generates mission constraints and hinders the operational autonomy. We will present results from experimentation accomplished of sparse LBL navigation on an AUV, in cooperation between Ifremer and iXblue. Use cases are long range straight line missions in geo-physical applications for Ifremer’s future 6000m AUV. As a perspective, the alternative use of range measurements from a local transponder at the surface for enhancement of the AUV navigation will equally be investigated.
