Abstract: A system includes a mobile vehicle including a geolocator and an active acoustic source configured to generate acoustic wave energy directed toward a fiber optic network that includes one or more fiber optic cables and a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) interrogator communicably coupled to the one or more fiber optic cables; and a control system. The control system is configured to perform operations including acquiring a signal from the DAS interrogator in response to the acoustic wave energy generated from the active acoustic energy source during movement of the mobile vehicle on or above the terranean surface; determining a geolocation of the mobile vehicle from the geolocator during or subsequent to acquisition of the signal from the DAS interrogator; and determining a location of the at least one fiber optic cable based on the determined geolocation of the mobile vehicle during acquisition of the signal from the DAS interrogator.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for generating subsurface image data by inducing a first acoustic energy in a fluid contained within a pipe network at a predetermined location. The acoustic energy propagates through the pipe network and into a subsurface in which the pipe network is contained and is then recorded using an array of transducers. The recorded acoustic energy is provided as input to a machine learning algorithm to generate image data associated with the subsurface, which is used to generate a subsurface model for presentation in a graphical user interface.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for generating images by performing TEM surveys using pre-existing infrastructure such as transmission lines, or power lines, and naturally occurring transients such as lightning strikes or load switching. A relatively inexpensive sensor array can be installed on overhead power lines (e.g., electrical transmission or sub-transmission lines) which can detect transients in the overhead power lines. Transients in the overhead power lines can cause the power lines to emit pulses of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, which propagate into the earth's subsurface. This sudden change in electromagnetic field in the subsurface can induce eddy currents, which in turn emit return EM radiation that can propagate back to the overhead power line and induce secondary voltage and current transients. The magnitude of these secondary transients, and their time delay from the original transient are influenced by the properties of the subsurface in which the eddy currents formed.

Abstract: Techniques for imaging a subterranean formation include activating an acoustic energy source that is at least partially submerged in a volume of liquid on or under a terranean surface; based on the activating, producing acoustic wave energy that travels through the volume of liquid and to a subterranean zone below the terranean surface; receiving, at one or more acoustic receivers, reflected acoustic wave energy from the subterranean zone; and generating, with a control system, data associated with the subterranean zone based on the reflected acoustic wave energy.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a mineralogy of a portion of a drainage basin include identifying topography data associated with a drainage basin comprising at least one body of water; identifying weather data associated with the drainage basin; identifying first sensor data associated with a first water sensor installed in the drainage basin; identifying second sensor data associated with a second water sensor that is located downstream of the first water sensor in the drainage basin; providing the first sensor data, second sensor data, topography data, and weather data as input to a machine learning algorithm; and determining, by the machine learning algorithm, a mineralogy of a portion of the drainage basin.
