MEET THE INVESTOR
Sonardyne Connect Completes First Metrology Campaign Stand no. G300, J555, I150
Innovation and investment lie at the heart of successful projects, and are in the spotlight here at OI 2014 thanks to the introduction of the Innovation Zone in the exhibition hall. Innovative new technology is showcased there, and the Zone acts a springboard to introduce methods for getting technology to market in the fastest and most effective way. Benefit by making your way to the Zone at 10:00h today for the ‘Meet the Investor’ workshop run in collaboration with the Oiltech Investment Network. Jessica Rouse, who manages the Network on behalf of OTM Consulting, will be intro ducing the workshop along with the aims and objectives of the Network, which was established in 2010 by leading global investors in upstream oil and gas technologies to encourage the uptake of innovative products. Network members include Altira Group, BP Technology Ventures, Chevron Tech nology Ventures, ConocoPhillips, Energy Ventures, Investinor, Lime Rock Partners, Saudi Aramco Energy Ventures, Shell Technology Ventures, Statoil Technology Invest, and Viking Venture. Between them, they have invested more than USD1 billion in over 80 oil and gas technology compa nies over the past five years. There will then be three presentations: by Trevor Burgess, managing director, Lime Rock Partners, on ‘Money doesn’t grow on trees – how to fund growth with private equity’; by Craig Watson, partner, Euro pean Patent Attorney HGF, focusing on ‘Oilfield IP – protecting your ideas’; and by Seadhna Wilson, principal consultant, OTM Consulting, on ‘Commercial success and current technology needs in the E&P sector’. These three presentations will be followed by an Oiltech panel session on ‘Commer cial success and current technology needs in the oil and gas sector’ with Shawn Le Maitre of Statoil Technology Invest and Kemal Anbarci of Chevron Technology Ventures among the speakers.
Using Sonardyne 6G acousticinertial hardware, UTEC used Connect to collect and process metrology data.
Following the introduction of Sonardyne International’s acoustic metrology soft ware, Connect, offshore survey company UTEC has become the first operator to use the technology on a realworld campaign. Developed in conjunction with software engineering company 4D Nav, Connect was used as the primary tool to collect and pro cess metrology data between two flanges set 30 metres apart in the waters off the east coast of Canada. Sonardyne Compatt 6 transponders were deployed to form a braced quad for baseline measurements
with a highprecision depth sensor inter faced to a workclass ROV. Using Connect, the survey team collected inclinometer data from the Compatts and pressure data from the ROV sensor whilst also collecting baseline measurements. The process was repeated using Sonardyne’s Fusion 6G LBL acoustic positioning system, allowing the timeofflight and network adjustment calculations in both packages to be directly compared. Connect metrology software is being demonstrated at the Sonardyne, 4D Nav and UTEC stands.
Subsea Lidar Laser Scanning Using Terrestrial Methodology TeledyneCDL & 3D at Depth presents its subsea patented technology which uses subsea Lidar (Laser Radar) scan ning techniques for the installation/ field development of inspection environments.

3,000m to collect ranging and imaging data at resolutions that are not commonly known or seen in harsh subsea environments. The proven track record of the system and its datasets are focused on increasing the scale of the data to 40,000 points per second with proven ranges of 45 metres. The subsea point cloud data is treated in processing in the same way as the surface scanning environment – by taking known points of registration between scan locations and producing 3D widearea point cloud models with millimetre range and resolution. Technip USA has approved datasets and operational timeline examples from one of its projects in the Gulf of Mexico at a depth of 2,700m.

Fluid Mud Density Probe Stema Systems is launching the new DensiTune Portable, a system for rapid fluid mud assessment. The DensiTune P system weighs in total 15kg and is suited for handcarried transport. Thanks to the integrated WiFi option and low power consumption, the DensiTune P can be deployed on a vessel of opportunity for sediment density measurements. Without additional calibration, a vertical density profile over the fluid mud column can be obtained within minutes according to Stema Systems. The retrieved density information allows organisations to assure nautical accessibility in harbours, conduct analyses of water bottom stability, manage quantities in disposal areas and monitor siltation quantities. The insitu density measurements can optionally be accompanied with yieldstrength data and drysolids calcula tion functionality. The DensiTune P can be used with any echosounder. However, the acoustic data of the Silas subbottom mapping system is calibrated with the The DensiTune Stand no. I601 Portable system. DensiTune information.

“Changes Make it Exciting to be an Oceanographer” Interview with Ralph Rayner, conference chairman of Oceanology International
Eight conferences and three newly introduced discussion panels: Oceanology International’s conference chairman, Professor Ralph Rayner, and his committees have been working hard behind the scenes to ensure they create the conferences that the industry needs.
Q: Has the global economic situation affected the industries represented at OI? A: The world has certainly gone through a pretty turbulent time and the impacts of economic pressures and major changes can be seen around the globe. Fortunately in the industry sector represented by Oceanol ogy International, these impacts have been very, very slight. In fact we’ve seen growth in most areas, and this is reflected in this year’s exhibition which has grown by almost 10%. Q: Starting with a blank sheet of paper, how do you put together the programme for OI 2014? A: We look at two things: we need to make sure we convey what’s happening in each key area of technology, but we also have to address the demand side for those technologies and understand any 8|

emerging application areas. This means that this year’s conference, as in previous years, is really divided into two parts. One deals with technologies and what’s happening in each technology area, and the other part looks at applications. Q: What lies at the heart of the conference? A: Undoubtedly ocean science and tech nology. The conference programme picks up on each major strand of technology represented in the exhibition hall. As well as our traditional areas – ocean observing systems, hydrography, geophysics and site investigation – and dealing with exciting developments in unmanned underwater vehicles made possible by novel new materials, novel power sources and advances in computing and sensors, we’ve introduced two new ‘core technology’ con ference programmes in this year’s event. Q: Can you tell us more? A: Central to many of the application areas of ocean technology is the ability to know where we are underwater; to make
precise measurements; and to better communicate data and information through the water column. So, to cater for emerging technologies in this area we now have separate conferences on underwater positioning and metrology, and underwater communications. Like all the Oceanology International conferences, the programmes are created by experts in their field. Q: Those aren’t the only new introductions are they? A: You’re right. We’ve introduced the con cept of topical panel discussions, looking at markets which are creating a growing demand for marine science and tech nology. We’ve selected three – aquaculture, the treatment and disposal of ballast water, and subsea mining. In each instance we’re looking at the technologies featured here under one roof at ExCeL that are required to support these markets. Q: Are the technologies the cement that binds the conference together then? A: Yes. The unique attribute of
Ralph Rayner In addition to his Oceanology International role Ralph Rayner is sector director – energy and environment for BMT Group, chairman of Sonardyne International and is a professorial research fellow at the London School of Economics Centre for Analysis of Time Series. He is also responsible for industry advocacy and outreach for the US Integrated Ocean Observing System.
SONARDYNE LODESTAR. THIS IS THE VERSION YOU NEED FOR VEHICLE AHRS
THIS IS THE VERSION YOU NEED FOR USBL AIDED INS
Oceanology International is that it links all of the technologies you will see in the exhibition to many different application areas. That’s why in this year’s conference we have stand-alone conferences dealing with operating in extreme environments, understanding all the issues that the oil and gas industry faces moving into places like the Arctic; and how technologies are brought to bear in solving problems asso ciated with working in those very difficult environments. We have a conference on maritime security reflecting some of the events that have happened in the past two years which have created growth in demand for security of maritime installations; and of course in a day-long conference we are also reflecting the rapid growth in the marine renewables area and its demands for technologies to support survey, installation and maintenance. Q: And last of all, what excites you most? A: The accelerating pace of change – the emergence of new materials, new sensor technologies, new computing capabili ties. All of this is changing very, very rap idly and these changes are influencing what’s happening in the world of marine technology. These changes, combined with some huge societal challenges such as ocean acidification and changing climate, demand the ability to make long-term observations of the world’s oceans on a reliable and cost-effective basis. This makes it a truly exciting time to be an oceanographer.

Product Launch by Hydro-Bios The AFISsingle automatic fluid injection sampler provides a novel technique to enhance sampling technology for studying microbially driven biogeochemical processes in the environment by the analysis of metatranscriptomes. Transcripts degrade fast, within a matter of seconds or minutes. It is known that their abundance patterns are subject to considerable modification as a result of sampling procedures. To eliminate this, the AFIS takes samples and rapidly fixes water in the original environment. The AFISsingle has been designed to be operated inside common rosette watersampling systems or as standalone instrument. The AFIS is the result of a cooperation between HydroBios and eibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde IOW.

Prevco Subsea on the Move Prevco Subsea is on the move, expanding its workforce and moving to a much larger building. The new building is located just across the road from the old one in Tunbridge Wells, UK. It has 30,000 square feet of covered space, sits on a plot of 5 acres and includes 2.5 acres of paved and enclosed land. The move has been prompted by the need for much larger assembly and testing areas and the desire to bring some of the machining operations inhouse. Prevco Subsea opened a UK sales office in 2012 and has a full programme of trade shows around the world. The move should be complete by the end of this month and customers are invited to arrange a visit and have a tour of the facility.

Cygnus DIVE is a wristmountable, simpletooperate, robust underwater ultrasonic thickness gauge which pro vides a free hand while performing the remaining metal thickness measure ments. The Cygnuspioneered multiple echo technique at the heart of the electronics ensures that protective coatings up to 20mm thick are ignored, so there is no need to remove them. This technique also automatically checks and verifies all measurements.
conditions during the journey. It then automatically and securely transmits this back to base, allowing an early proactive response to any incident. DropTag works by continuously monitoring the vibrations, temperature and humidity that key equip ment is exposed to in transit, and trigger ing system alerts when preset thresholds are exceeded. The ‘infrastructure’ to moni tor DropTag in the form of smartphones is already in place. The Trace tracking tech nology, meanwhile, provides accurate information on the location of people indoors, even without external signals such as GPS or radio. Highly metallic structures such as ships and oil platforms are known to be difficult environments in which to accurately track people – something that becomes critical in an emergency situation.

The talk is scheduled to take place today, 11 March, at 16:00h. Venue is the Gallery Meeting Room 6 (SG 6) at the ExCeL Centre during Oceanology International. All are welcome but seating is limited.
The Chuter with buoyant fulcrum in a test tank.
Jospa has invented the Chuter to throw water forward at high speed, thus creating wave energy. The ‘buoyant fulcrum’ includes two barrels attached as buoyancy at the side of the Chuter. Filled with air, they pivot on the waterline of the Chuter. Pulled by the tug on the mooring, they make the Chuter lift and produce flows across a much wider range of waves, including small and medium ones. Another variant is the Chuter Mk II with Vortex bowl. The kinetic energy throughput of the Chuter is harnessed in a novel way: a vortex turbine that smoothes the inter mittent power of the waves.
