Acoustic Zoom Inc.

Published purpose

This project will advance a new concept in offshore acoustic imaging. The physics will be defined to address the requirements for high-resolution seismic beamforming of the geo-mechanical properties of the sub-seabed. The goal is to develop the acoustic imaging data acquisition and processing steps needed to characterize the formation volume surrounding micropiles supported platforms. The project will develop the acoustics as descending multiple sources generated from the advancements of a customized programmable impact drill. The design study will optimize the receivers' geometrical configurations, the generated signals, frequencies, power, transmitter coupling to the seabed, placement and type of receivers and sensors and the data processing.
