Norwegian energy company Equinor will boost its seismic monitoring at the Johan ##sen offshore oilfield after agreeing a deal to install a soundwave tracking system from Sonardyne . https://www.oilfieldtechnology.com/exploration/26022019/equinor-enhances-permanent-seismic-monitoring-with-sonardyne-sensors/ A Rystad Energy analysis shows that Canada is the oil producer most affected so far by the slump in global oil demand, with the damage estimated to reach above 1.1 million bpd in shut-in production in 2Q20. The Pressure Inverted Echo System ( PIES ) will be placed as deep as 120 m to measure pressure and the two - 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 systems , the PIES improves predictive analytics through time - lapse seismic information , marking only the second time the technology has been hardwired into topside power and communication infrastructure .
