1 Data and Information Management UK All Energy 22 nd May 2013 Presented by Leo James

2 Strategic Development Plans Observations at the outset Data and information management and dissemination: company or development team specific based on the individual strategic development plan for the field, farm or project From the geo perspective. Bathymetric and geophysical data are generally acquired as part of the dataset for the production of the environmental statement. Managed by the development/consenting team Geotechnical data is generally acquired by the engineering team Managed by the engineering team

3 A starting point... Dogger Bank a Round 3 Megasite From a foundation engineering perspective. Forewind are a consortium comprising RWE, Statoil, Statkraft and SSE Dogger Bank Round 3 zone is ~8660 km 2 currently world s largest offshore wind farm Water depths range from m ( feet) Located km ( miles) offshore The Site is sub divided into Tranches Each Tranche will contain ~3 project areas or windfarms of ~200 turbines (1.2GW) Each tranche will apply for Licence to Consent separately Estimated capacity agreed target 9GW What needs to be done to build a 4D-understanding of Dogger Bank? i.e spatial stratigraphy and mechanical properties through time ( a need to investigate the evolution of the area to understand today s Dogger Bank) in order that it can be developed.

4 BA CTON TO (SE AL)-34" GAS X/Y: Meters Selecting CPT & BH positions based on geophysical data acquisition July 2010 BA CTON TO (SE AL)-34" GAS BA CTON TO (SE AL)-34" GAS X/Y: Meters BA CTON TO (SE AL)-34" GAS How Much Data? N N Geotechnical and Geophysical acquisition to December 2012

5 Geophysical, Geotechnical & Environmental Surveys to date Area Instrument Coverage / Number ~ Data volume (GB) Regional Multibeam Bathymetry & AGDS 16% coverage (1431km 2 ) 575 Regional Dual Frequency Sidescan sonar 16% coverage (1431km 2 ) 1230 Regional Sparker, Pinger, Magnetometer 7152 line km s 295 Regional 2010 CPTU s/ Boreholes 96/41 1 Met masts All geophysical data incl UXO survey 400% (3km 2 ) 0.5 Tranche A Multibeam Bathymetry 100% coverage (2020km 2 ) 820 Tranche A Dual Frequency Sidescan sonar 100% coverage (2020km 2 ) 1850 Tranche A Sparker, Pinger, Magnetometer line km s 780 Tranche A 2011/ 2012 Boreholes/ wireline logs /CPT /13/8 1 Tranche A Environmental sampling & camera Tranche B Multibeam Bathymetry & AGDS 100% coverage (~1550km 2 ) 640 Tranche B Dual Frequency Sidescan sonar 100% coverage (~1550km 2 ) 1620 Tranche B Sparker, Pinger, Magnetometer line km s 640 Tranche B Environmental sampling & camera Tranche B 2012 CPTU s / Boreholes 80/15 1 Export Cable Routes Multibeam Bathymetry & AGDS 100% coverage (940km 2 ) 340 Export Cable Routes Dual Frequency Sidescan sonar 100% coverage (940km 2 ) 1160 Export Cable Routes Pinger / sub-tow Boomer 7275/4573 line km s 338 Export Cable Routes Environmental sampling & camera 76, Report volumes Tranche C??? ~11TB

6 Approximate Network of Pre-consent Information Desk Study Search for available data Survey Design and data user requirements Oceanographic Survey UXO Surveys Geophysical and Bathymetric surveys Geotechnical Survey Geological understanding Foundation Design Option Assessment Seabed Processes Study Cable Installation Burial Assessment Foundation Design Jack-up study Cable Engineering Installation Method Vessel, Barge, Jack-up Anchoring / Jack-up Conditions, Seabed Obstructions Benthic Surveys Zonal Assessment & Environmental Statement Consents & Planning Approval Fisheries Scoping Study & dialogue with Stakeholder Ecology, Ornithology & Marine Mammals Seascape & Visual Shipping & Navigation Stakeholder Meetings (Fisheries, MOD, Tourism, Local Gov.) IPC Pre-application Process & Public Exhibitions Archaeology Metmast Emplacement Meteorology Commercial Viability

7 Recycling Information Bathymetry, AGDS data, side scan sonar data For site selection Data for PhD studentships, research purposes Benthic habitat assessment Benthic and Environmental Video and Grab Sampling Information Photographs & seabed features chart to archaeologists Photographs & particle size for ground truth of seabed features chart Particle size data for seabed processes (scour analysis) Cross referenced with shallow geological interpretation for sand thickness map Particle size data for cable burial & trenching assessment Particle size data and photographs for geological model AGDS Acoustic Ground Discrimination System

8 Additional uses of archaeological information What relevance does archaeological information have for foundation engineering? Archaeologists are interested in: Age of soils/sediments Shallow channels Terrestrial land surfaces Palaeoenvironment Wrecks Anything interesting /unusual or old Deposition rates vs consolidation rates Geological period of deposition Depositional hiatus unconformities Aging Areal extent of channels Possible channel fill - very soft clay - organic rich - sand filled Possible source of material Depositional environment Extent of land surfaces - cementation Desiccation & Freeze/thaw action Changes in water table Depositional environment Peat Pollen types associated with climate

9 Tracking data The volumes of raw / processed data require careful management Deliverables include GIS projects IHS Kingdom / CODA projects detailed spreadsheets of information Scopes of work identify and define available and useable datasets deliverables lists data formats Information and data is tracked through spreadsheets / data bases GIS / meta data Kingdom database

10 Data and Information Management In Conclusion However, Control of data and Information often equal power Sharing is more powerful
