Détection et localisation du pétrole sous la glace
As resource exploration and development moves further north into harsher environments and
more severe ice conditions, the risk of a spill in ice-covered waters-whether it is as a result
of drilling, production or storage and transport of product-increases. The first steps in the
management, cleanup and remediation are the detection, localization and tracking of the spill.
While existing aerial surveillance and satellite remote sensing techniques are effective in
tracking oil in open water and in loosely concentrated ice, none have proven to be effective in
penetrating ice. Additionally, the performance of existing visual, ultra-violet and infra-red
aerial techniques can all be rendered ineffective by darkness, fog and clouds. The objective
of the proposed research is to develop a model and simulation for the detection and
localization of oil under ice using a fleet of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV). The 3D
simulation that is proposed is to be used by the project partner, C-CORE, to set the direction
of subsequent work…TOBECONT’D
