Hydroacoustic Monitoring for Gas Detection and Mapping
Explore hydroacoustic methods to quantify and map gas release, especially in bubbling seep sites and gas infrastructure. Monitor bubble activity remotely and investigate methane distribution efficiently and non-invasively.

Presentation Transcript
<<<<<< Why hydroacoustic • How much gas is being released, when and where • To detect and map the occurrence of bubbling seep sites, gas wells/pipelines
<<<<<< Why hydroacoustic • How much gas is being released, when and where • To detect and map the occurrence of bubbling seep sites, gas wells/pipelines • With no disturbances, remotely, investigate and monitor the activity of bubble release

<<<<<< Why hydroacoustic • How much gas is being released, when and where • To detect and map the occurrence of bubbling seep sites, gas wells/pipelines • With no disturbances, remotely, investigate and monitor the activity of bubble release • Target water column sampling to investigate methane distribution • Quantify gas fluxes quickly, with a wide coverage and remotely • Methods used: • Singlebeam echosounder systems (single/multi frequency, splitbeam) • Multibeam echosounder systems (quick spatial mapping) • SideScanSonar • Ships, lander, ROV based • Passive acoustics for flux and BSD determination
