Blue Ocean Seismic Services trails underwater autonomous vehicle for surveys By Yoana Cholteeva 12 May 2021 (Last Updated May 12th, 2021 14:30) Blue Ocean Seismic Services (BOSS), a marine seismic survey company, has announced that it has successfully completed autonomous sea trials for a prototype version of its underwater vehicle in Perth, Australia. Share Article Blue Ocean Seismic Services is a joint venture between Blue Ocean, Woodside, and BP Ventures. Source: Ian Simmonds on Unsplash BOSS’ testbed ocean bottom seismic robotic vehicle is an early-stage prototype vehicle and associated communication, command & control system that uses the mechanical components of a host platform. It was developed to allow for in-water testing of BOSS electronics and software, providing a platform for electronic and software progress while hardware components are being designed and manufactured. ....

BOSS said that its long endurance self-repositioning autonomous underwater nodes will conduct offshore seismic surveys for oil and gas exploration and reservoir optimization, while also identifying and monitoring carbon storage opportunities under the seabed. Describing the sea trials, BOSS said that the underwater vehicle, or testbed ocean bottom seismic robotic vehicle (tOBSrV), successfully traversed a series of waypoints, while providing status updates to a master vessel. It logged flight and engineering data which is being utilized for further systems development ....

Late 2018, before net-zero targets had been agreed to by most western energy giants and nations, BP came out with a goal to reach 100% of subsea inspection by marine autonomous systems by 2025. It was a tangible goal then, and it’s one that might now be reached faster as remote and more “digitally” oriented operations take hold with greater opportunities for new nimble players in the market. It’s a goal being chased in the offshore wind sector too. ....
