We were at Orbis Energy Limited this week giving in-house training on underwater acoustics and signal processing – many thanks to Nikhil Banda.

The Scottish Government is hosting the Underwater Sound Forum this week where Guillermo Jiménez Arranz is presenting our work with BP. Thanks Guillermo and Nicola Harris!

At the Marine Autonomy and Technology Showcase, Mark Burnett presented our Sound Characterisation work with BP – using a combination of drift buoy and autonomous surface vehicle technology to collect acoustic data in close proximity to an oil and gas asset.

Mark Burnett will be at the Marine Technology Society’s Oceans in Action conference (4-6 Nov) in Gulfport, Mississippi, where AutoNaut’s capabilities will be on display thanks to work with ANTX (Advanced Naval Technology Exercise). Read more here.

Boyan Slat and the team at The Ocean Cleanup share the fantastic news that the cleanup system is now capturing plastic.

We’re joining forces for our fourth KTP with University of Bath to develop our new generation Digital Thin Line Array (DTLA) for autonomous vehicles. Thank you to Innovate UK, Philippe Blondel, Alan Hunter and AutoNaut Ltd.

We’re looking forward to Africa Oil Week (4-8 November in Cape Town) where our very own Michelle Roffe, also the IAGC- International Association of Geophysical Contractors Africa Consultant, will serve as the Moderator for the Prospect Forum – the engine-room where oil companies, governments and geo-service providers present prospects, farm-outs and joint venture opportunities. The place to be!

Guillermo Jiménez Arranz of Seiche delivered a presentation on ‘Sound Level Analysis for an Offshore Oil and Gas Drilling Activity’ at the recent 2019 Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life conference in Den Haag.
