Flemish Pass Acoustic Monitoring: Ambient Characterization and Marine Mammal Monitoring near a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit
December 2021 — Newfoundland, Canada
Client: Wood Environment and Infrastructure Solutions
An acoustic monitoring study to measure the acoustic signature of the Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) Stena Forth, a dynamically-positioned ultradeep-water drillship, at the Pelles A-71 exploration well. The results are compared to modelled predictions. Baseline sound levels were measured as well as marine mammal presence and changes to the baseline resulting from the Pelles drilling program.
