Projects & Publications

Our consortium can offer a wide variety of services:
Active Seismic Acquisition Our seismic instruments can record at up to 4kHz on 4 channels; recording from hydrophones and 3-component geophones. Typical experiments last from a few days to several months. The data can be downloaded and QC’d quickly so that the instrument can be ready for redeployment within an hour.
Passive Seismic Acquisition Alternatively our seismic instruments can be configured to record from differential pressure gauges for periods of up to 320 days. It is hoped that we will begin development of a seismomter package in the coming months.
EM Acquisition Our instruments can also be configured to record two orthogonal channels of horizontal electric field. The AgCl electrodes have a frequency range from 10s to 30Hz. Combined with a suitable source (also available through OBIC) this makes them capable of investigations to depth of several kilometers.
Survey Design OBIC personnel have more than 60 years combined experience of survey design, execution and data analysis on continental margines and in the deep oceans. We use this experience to ensure the optimisation of survey parameters to meet their objectives and can provide a complete design solution.
Data Analysis We can provide a broad range of data format translation, processing, analysis, modelling and interpretation services working with out clients to tailor these to their specific requirements and time scales. Outputs include standard SEG or academic format datasets, 2D and 3D velocity and resistivity models, hypocentric location and spectral analysis
