SECTION 2 METHODS OF OPERATION
In the following paragraphs described the operation work methods.
2.1 POSITIONING SYSTEMS
2.1.1 Differential Surface Positioning System

The positioning of the vessel was obtained using DGPS/RTK methodology, with the differential
correction provided from HP (L1/L2) OmniSTAR Correction service to the following GPS system:
 TRIMBLE SPS855 GPS receiver, which computed the absolute position of the antenna on the
boat with an updating frequency of 2 Hz. This data was sent to RESON PDS2000 navigation
software using NET interface, that computed the positions of all sensors installed basing on
their “offsets”.
OmniSTAR HP is a decimetre level, phase based service using satellite ‘orbit and clock’ data valid
worldwide, based upon GPS L1 and L2 frequencies. The OmniSTAR GPS Service provides a high
performance global solution to a horizontal accuracy of 10 cm (95%) and vertical accuracy of 15 cm
(95%).
2.1.2 Processing, Analysis and Quality Control of DGPS Data

During the survey operations, the positioning data quality was assured using the alarm system
available in the PDS2000. This system activates when the RTK quality data (HDOP, GPS mode, standard
deviation, etc.) exceed set thresholds, and all acquisition activities were automatically stopped.
This way, all out of range position data was not stored, so no further processing was required.
Q-14728-01-21/Rev00 Page | 10
2.2 MONO-CHANNEL REFLECTION SEISMIC SURVEY
2.2.1 Methodology
The principle of the method consists of recording the acoustic waves generated at the surface, which
are reflected back by sub-surface structures or interfaces. A reflection will occur when the acoustic
impedance changes at the boundary between two materials. The strength of the reflected signal depends
on the degree of acoustic impedance contrast.
Acoustic impedance is related to the density of the material and the rate at which sound travels through
this material (velocity).
The returning sound waves are recorded by a streamer (see image here below), which is composed
by several hydrophones joined in a single-channel (for each ping the system produce a single seismic
trace). Data are recorded in two-way travel time (TWT), which is the time taken for a seismic wave to
travel from the shot down to a reflector and back to the hydrophones at the surface.
Figure 3. Seismic Reflection Geometry
The first useful signal received represents the seabed-water interface and shows the morphology of
the seabed in a manner similar to a single beam echo sounder. The time of arrival and intensity of
subsequent impulses provides information about layers that exist below the seabed.
Several physical parameters of the acoustic signal emitted, such as output power, signal frequency,
and pulse length affect the performance of the instrument and influence its usefulness in various marine
environments. Increased output power allows greater penetration into the substrate. However, in the case
of harder seabeds (e.g. gravels or highly compacted sands) or very shallow water, higher power will result
in multiple reflections and more noise in the data. Higher frequency systems (up to 20 kHz) produce high
definition data of sediment layers immediately below the seabed, and are able to discriminate between
Q-14728-01-21/Rev00 Page | 11
layers that are close together (e.g. 10's of cms). Lower frequency systems give greater substrate
penetration, but at a lower vertical resolution. Longer pulse length transmissions (or 'pings') yield more
energy and result in greater penetration of substrate. However, they decrease the system resolution. The
depth of penetration also depends on the hardness of the upper layers and is significantly limited by the
presence of gas deposits.
2.2.2 Instrumentation & Configuration

This task was executed using the following equipment:
 GEO-RESOURCES high resolution system Geo-Boomer 300 with the following main features:
o 1000 Joule solid state power supply;
o 8 elements hi-resolution mono channel streamer;
o Mini-Trace II dual acquisition module with GeoSuite Acquisition software;
o The system produces a very short, stable signature with a centre frequency ranging
from 2000 - 4000 Hz, depending on the energy selected;
o Vertical Resolution: less than 10 cm;
o Repetition Rate: up to 6 shots per second;
o Penetration: up to 100 ms below seabed.
 NAVIGATION SYSTEM: the survey is controlled using PDS2000 navigation software, which
computes the positions of the transducers and sends to the seismic acquisition systems the
following data in real time (1 Hz update frequency):
o Date & Time

o Fix number
o Vessel and CMP coordinates
Navigation data are stored with the sonar data in the SEG-Y digital formats.
Here below the configuration of the system used.

Mobilisation
Once the pre–mobilisation operations for the transfer were completed, the mobilisation phase started.
Q-14728-01-21/Rev00 Page | 14
During this phase, the following operations were performed:
 Installation of all the survey equipment, sensors and transducers in the specific racks and fixed
supports;
 Quayside Checks and Tests of the equipment;
 Tests and Sea Trials before to start data acquisition in the work area.
Sea Trials
Before the beginning of the survey activities, some tests were executed, some seismic survey lines
were run using different acquisition parameters and/or different setups of the complete system. At the
end of the tests the final parameters to be used during the survey were defined, which were not changed
during the survey.
Here below the main tests executed and parameters defined:
 Check of Streamer Balancing
 Noise Test
 Position/geometry of seismic source and mini-streamer (see example Figure 5)
 Y Offset Source: -40 m
 Y Offset Streamer: -45 m

 X Offset Source: -4 m
 X Offset Streamer: +4 m
 XCMP: +0
 YCMP: -42.5

Survey Execution
Seismic data were acquired using the parameters in the following table.
Acquisition operations were carried out with the vessel sailing at a speed of about 1.5 knots with
weather-sea conditions suitable to guarantee a good quality of collected data.
No. 4 survey lines were planned (see Fig.6) in order to cover the work area.
Anyway, during the execution of the survey, several obstacles were in the work area, as barges and
buoys, limiting the maneuverability of the tug boat. In order to improve the coverage of the work area,
some additional lines were executed. Figure 7 is showing the trackplot of the lines executed.
The survey lines executed are visible in Figure below.

Online QC Data
Real time quality control of the seismic data was performed observing the data on a shot by shot basis
directly in the acquisition software.
The real time processing flow was the following, that in any case it was not applied to the recorded
raw data:
 Noise filtering
 TVG Gain
Figure 8. Example of Online Seismic QC

If necessary, the Geophysical Operator adjusted different parameters of the system (transducer
power, gate settings, signal filters, offsets, etc.) to improve the penetration and the quality of data
acquired.
Offline QC Data
On a daily basis, at the end of each working day the data acquired were uploaded on the FTP server
in the office, where the Data Processor started to execute the Offline Quality Control, which is focused to
the following points:
 check of the integrity of the files;

 check of the navigation, positioning accuracy, offline distance for each seismic profile;
 determine noise levels and frequency spectrum for each line;
 check of the penetration reached.

Q-14728-01-21/Rev00 Page | 20
In case any seismic profile didn’t pass the Offline QC, the Data Processor asked to the survey team
to reacquire the specified profiles.
At the end of the survey, the Data Processor confirmed that the whole dataset was in line with the
requirements, and the survey was considered completed.

3.1.1 Processing sequence details

This paragraph describes in details the processing sequence.
 Import Data - Seismic data were stored as SEG-Y format. A project was created in CODA
Survey Engine®, where each line was imported and converted in the internal database. Once
imported, each line was represented in referenced spatial plane as single line obtained from
position data stored into files.
 Navigation Editing – navigation information stored during data acquisition was edited or
smoothed. Furthermore, a new navigation processed externally can be reimported in the
system as “Corrected Navigation File”.
Q-14728-01-21/Rev00 UPDATE IMAGE Page | 23

 Trace Editing – all acquired data were checked, and noisy traces were killed or muted.
 Gain application – sonar signal intensity reduces with range (energy loss due to the spherical
divergence of the propagating signal and due to energy dissipation and scattering). Different
types of gain (Digital Base Gain and TVG) were tested and applied to the data to amplify the
signal strength with range to yield an improved image;
 Frequency Filter (Band Pass) – this filter was used as seismic traces typically contain some
low frequency noise, including 50Hz noise generated by power line, and/or some high-
frequency ambient noise.
 Zero Offset Demultiple – this process was executed in order to remove multiples from single-
channel seismic data. It uses an algorithm based on adaptive subtraction of a model of
multiples from the original wave field;
 Tidal Correction – static corrections for tides were not applied to the traces;
 Deghosting – this filter was able to suppress ghost waves from the data;
 Swell Filter – data may show artefacts and distortions caused by vertical movement of the
sensor during data acquisition. Swell statics were computed from the data and Swell Filter is
applied to correct the vertical motion of the sensor for seismic data;
 Data Interpretation (Picking Reflections) – when the final processed seismic sections were
ready, the interpretation phase started. The main reflectors were identified and digitized along
the entire dataset. Based on the correlation with existing data (core logs) the main stratigraphic
units were identified;
 Export XYZ data – main interpreted reflectors were exported as ASCII in XYZ data format. For
each reflector the software executed an accurate calculations of depths (from the seabed or
layer above) based on the velocities assigned to each horizon;
 Grid Model – the XYZ data was processed in Surfer® to create a DTM for each main reflector,
which represents the thickness variation of a layer respect to the bathymetry or layer above it.
 DTMs were used to produce charts with Depths of Reflectors and Isopachs.
 Geologic Profiles were produced in Strater® along the main interpreted seismic profiles.

SECTION 4 RESULTS
In the next paragraphs the results of the geophysical survey are reported.
4.1 DATA INTERPRETATION

In all figures shown, the horizontal grid represents the Shot Number and the Vertical Grid the Depths in
meters.
Actually in the monochannel seismic the vertical scale is in Two Way Traveltime in millisconds (TWT)
and with this methodology is not possible to execute Velocity Analysis (done in multichannel seismic)
which are necessary to migrate the profiles from TWT to Depth (in meters).
Anyway, average velocities increasing with depth, coming from existing studies, were assigned to the
identified layers.
The first consideration made by observing all seismic profiles acquired in the work area is that the seismic
signal penetrated more than 70 m below seafloor. This is shown in the Line_P10, executed about 110 m
away from the quay wall, in an area still not dredged (Figure 9).
Line_P10 is characterised by quite continuous sub horizontal reflectors, and no particular geologic
structures are visible in the profile.
Picking of the main reflectors has been done along all seismic profiles. Interpreted profiles are shown in
Figures 10, 11 and 12.

4.2 CORRELATION BETWEEN REFLECTION SEISMIC AND BOREHOLE LOGS

A correlation between the geophysical dataset and the boreholes available was carried out.
Here below the correlation of the boreholes MBH-08 (Fig. 13) and MBH-09 (Fig. 14).
Boreholes are located in areas with irregular topography of the seafloor and close to the quay wall, which
made the correlation quite difficult.
The correlation shows that some structural highs visible in the seismic profiles and characterised by
strong reflections (marked with GREEN reflector in interpreted profiles), seems to be related to the
presence of granite immediately below the seafloor.
Anyway, in few cases these structural highs are characterised by quite weak reflections and beneath
them a sub horizontal continuous reflection is visible. In these cases (Fig. 10, Shot 850 and 600),
structural highs may be related to coral reef above a sandy layer or limestone.

GEOSUITE ACQUISITION
GeoSuite Acquisition is a GIS-based survey planning and recording solution specially designed to drive the Mini-
Trace II dual recording system.
Dual channel seismic acquisition
The GeoSuite Acquisition software and the Mini-Trace II hardware have been developed in order to fulfill our
own demand for ultra-hi-res data acquisition and online processing.
GeoSuite Acquisition features a synchronous

recording mode that allows to record seismic data
from two independent sources at the same time.
Thanks to the advanced trigger programmer it is
possible to drive the two sources without the risk of
interferences.
Dual channel acquisition represents a cost-

effective solution to improve the horizontal
resolution and / or the signal to noise ratio.
Moreover, the software can assist the end user
during both survey planning and setup and post-
processing workflow.
Standalone navigation
GeoSuite Acquisition has a powerful GIS

based navigation tool, making it a very cheap
standalone solution for small surveys. It's
navigation input can use standard NMEA 0183
GPS receiver, but it can also be configured to
receive the positioning data generated by a
third party navigation system.
Thanks to its complete CRS database with

customizable entries, it is possible to work with
local projection and / or perform projections on
the fly.
The survey map window features a built-in worldwide coastlines database and it can be extended with third party
cultural data (google earth files, surfaces, bathymetry, etc).
Q-14728-01-21/Rev00 Page | 37
Powerful processing tools
GeoSuite Acquisition features a wide

set of tools for both online seismic
processing, like automatic swell filtering
and seabed tracking. Online processing
doesn't affect recorded data, so there is
no risk of data loss.
GeoSuite Acquisition also provides a

powerful realtime layback correction tool
that can precisely calculate the positions
of the seismic source, the receivers group
and the current CDP using just the source-
receiver geometry and the position of the
GPS antenna.
Extended logging capabilities
GeoSuite Acquisition records every data input in RAW mode. This means that the recorded data are stored in
the exact way they were received: no one of the online processing tools will affect the recorded seismic data, and
the positioning information will be stored also in separated log ASCII-based format files in order to perform any
required post-acquisition processing elaboration.
Furthermore, a dedicated log file stores detailed information regarding the overall acquisition process including
commands, alarms, notifications and every relevant event.
Complete interoperability with any seismic processing /interpretation software
GeoSuite Acquisition records seismic data in standard SEG-Y format. This makes it possible to use whatever
processing and interpretation software after the acquisition.

RESON PDS2000 NAVIGATION/ACQUISITION SOFTWARE
PDS2000 is hydrographic data acquisition and processing

software for Windows 98/NT/2000, in house developed. It can
be used either as a stand-alone package or via network links.
Display of data can be done anywhere via connection to an
acquisition server. This will give users the benefit of placing
the display for the acquisition of data remotely from the
sensors.
PDS2000 is a complete data acquisition and processing

software package, from the start and set-up of hydrographic
surveys to the final presentation of survey results either in 3D
model and/or charts. The functionality of the program is
controlled by application definitions. Such a definition includes
the sensors in use and how the user wishes the results to be
computed. Using this feature, users can define specific
applications and get the results required.
An example of some of the possible applications:
 Navigation only
 Vessel tracking
 ROV-tracking
 Side Scan Sonar surveys
 Seismic Surveys
 Bathymetric surveys using single beam echosounders or multibeam devices
 Magnetometer surveys
Q-14728-01-21/Rev00 Page | 40
The full PDS2000 package consists of the following modules:

Control module
 Used to define applications and start the necessary modules. Applications connect to the control
module for information exchange. This is also true for stand-alone computations.
 Acquisition module
 Connects to the sensors, controls the computations, and takes care of logging. Presentations can
be attached to the acquisition and the acquisition module itself has full presentation possibilities.
Validation module
 Processing, editing and validation of measurements. All time related measurements are
processed into position related measurements and can be viewed in plan- and profile panels,
imported from raw data or databases and exported to databases or ASCII files.
 Plotting Module
 Plotting and 3D modelling of validated data. 3D models use TIN (Triangular Irregular Network)
techniques, data can be imported from databases or ASCII files.
Grid modelling module

 All functionality's to work with Digital Terrain Models (DTM's). Profiles at any cross section, colour
table generation, corrections, volume computations, and more.
