The Pressure Inverted Echo Sounder ( Equinor ) will be placed as deep as 110 - 120 m to measure pressure and the 26 -way travel-time of soundwaves to give real-time data on average water velocity and tidal variation. In conjunction with seafloor-based permanent reservoir monitoring devices, the PIES improves predictive analytics through time-lapse seismic information, representing only the second time the technology has been hardwired into topside power and communication infrastructure.
