Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for generating images and location data of a subsurface object using existing infrastructure as a source. Many infrastructure objects (e.g., pipes, cables, conduits, wells, foundation structures) are constructed of rigid materials and have a known shape and location. Additionally these infrastructure objects can have exposed portions that are above or near the surface and readily accessible. A signal generator can be affixed to the exposed portion of the infrastructure object, which induces acoustic energy, or vibrations in the object. The object with affixed signal generator can then be used as a source in performing a subsurface imaging of subsurface objects, which are not exposed.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for generating a subsurface model representing lithological characteristics and attributes of the subsurface of a celestial body or planet. By automatically ingesting data from many sources, a machine learning system can infer information about the characteristics of regions of the subsurface and build a model representing the subsurface rock properties. In some cases, this can provide information about a region using inferred data, where no direct measurements have been taken. Remote sensing data, such as aerial or satellite imagery, gravimetric data, magnetic field data, electromagnetic data, and other information can be readily collected or is already available at scale. Lithological attributes and characteristics present in available geoscience data can be correlated with related remote sensing data using a machine learning model, which can then infer lithological attributes and characteristics for regions where remote sensing data is available, but geoscience data is not.

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: Systems and methods for detecting a mechanical disturbance are disclosed. One of the method may comprise the operation steps including: transmitting, by a transmitter, a pulse at a preset frequency along a first cable; receiving, by a receiver, a plurality of signals, wherein each of the plurality of signals travels along the first cable and a second cable connected to the receiver for a corresponding span; calculating one or more differential phases, wherein each differential phase is calculated based on respective phases and the corresponding spans of two of the plurality of signals; and determining a localization of the mechanical disturbance based on the one or more differential phases.

Abstract: A method for ship ballasting includes receiving, at a carbon negative energy storage system, input comprising calcium oxide and water and reacting, within a reaction chamber of the carbon negative energy storage system, the calcium oxide and water to release energy and generate calcium hydroxide. The method includes directing, by the carbon negative energy storage system, the released energy to a requesting end user and providing, by the carbon negative energy storage system, the calcium hydroxide to a marine vessel ballasting system. The method includes releasing a mixture of the calcium hydroxide and ballast water from the marine vessel ballasting system into the ocean to sequester atmospheric COCO2.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for effectively training a machine learning model to identify features in DAS and/or seismic imaging data with limited or no human labels. This is accomplished using a masked autoencoder (MAE) network that is trained in multiple stages. The first stage is a self-supervised learning (SSL) stage where the model is generically trained to predict data that has been removed (masked) from an original dataset. The second stage involves performing additional predictive training on a second dataset that is specific to a particular geographic region, or specific to a certain set of desired features. The model is fine-tuned using labeled data in order to develop feature extraction capabilities.
