Next Generation Microseismic Processing for Distributed Acoustic Sensing Data

Purpose and goal:

The overarching goal of the project is to develop, and be first to market with, a microseismic processing software solution compatible with data from Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) systems, scalable to meet data volume and performance requirements of large scale underground mining. Specific objectives are to

- Integrate support for DAS data into our current software platform - Do a field test at an operating mine - Demonstrate sufficient performance to meet mine scale requirements Expected results and effects:

We aim to reach TRL 7 for the solution developed within the project. The impact for us as a company would be that we would have a unique and attractive offer for underground mines, we would fill a gap in the market. This has the potential to be a significant part of our future business. Approach and implementation:

We will complete the project in 11 months, August 2024 (M0) to June 2025 (M10). The overall approach is to develop, test, optimize and integrate the solution with our DAS partner in the first 6 months, and conduct a field trial for four months and use the last month to summarize and document the findings. WP´s have been designed according to the major phases in the project.

The plan includes that parts of the work in WP2, and potentially WP3, is potentially outsourced, specifically focusing on optimizing the software design with regards to its performance and CPU and memory requirements.
