5 Navigation System 5.1 CONCEPT INTEGRATED NAVIGATION SYSTEM SPECTRA is an integrated navigation system for marine geophysical surveys. SPECTRA can handle any current survey configuration. This ranges from 2D single vessel to 3D multi-vessel, multi-streamer. SPECTRA's main features are: ♦ Navigation data acquisition and validation, performed by a powerful data

acquisition and control system. Sensor data acquisition and control functions are timed to a high resolution using GPS time standard.

♦ Shot prediction and header output. ♦ Real time source and streamer positioning, supporting multi-vessel

configurations. ♦ Kalman filtering, plus advanced integrated computation techniques with built in

statistical reliability testing. ♦ Steering displays and data monitoring. ♦ Navigation logging to UKOOA standards, to printer and tape. ♦ Optional QC analysis and integrated quality control of real time data through to

processed data. ♦ Various optional off-line processes, for example post-processing. 5.2 SPRINT 3D PROCESSING SYSTEM SPRINT use recorded UKOOA P2/94 data for processing, by removing noise, spikes, correcting bad or missing values, and running network adjustment. Final version of the P1/90 was produced. SPRINT can also provide powerful data analysis function for QC control. 5.3 REFLEX BINNING SYSTEM REFLEX has been designed to provide 3D binning and coverage-control combined with more general spatial analysis facilities. Intended to link closely with the Sprint Navigation Processing system, such that the position of each trace will primarily be derived from post-processed data.

The block diagram provides the interrelationship between Concept system, streamer recording system and gun controller system.

6 Positioning System Details and performance of Vessel Positioning Systems, Primary and Secondary (and Tertiary if applicable)

6.1 DGPS SYSTEM a) Primary positioning system: Veripos Ultra Veripos Ultra offers decimeter level position accuracy globally. The service is based around a positioning technique known as PPP (Precise Point Positioning) where all errors in the GPS system are either independently corrected or modeled to a high degree of accuracy. In contrast to having a unique set of satellite corrections specific to each reference site, Veripos Ultra consists of one set of corrections for the satellites, which are valid globally. These are used at any location with no dependence on distance to reference stations. Veripos Ultra delivers a high accuracy position using a proprietary PPP algorithm developed by Veripos that minimizes or removes all of the main GPS errors sources such as satellite orbit, satellite clock, troposphere, ionosphere and multi-path. Technical specifications: Process type: Precise Point Position (PPP) Observations used: CA & P code + L1 & L2 carrier phase Measurement rate: 0.6 seconds Availability: Worldwide HP satellites: Inmarsat 25E, 98W, 109E LP satellites: Inmarsat AORE, AORW, IOR, POR Data format: Modified RTCM SC104 Type 44 Message types: 44 Transmission rate: 1200 bps Typical data update rate: 30 seconds Normal Horizontal accuracy: 20cm (2DRMS) Normal Vertical accuracy: 30cm (2DRMS) b) Secondary positioning system: Veripos Standard Plus Veripos Standard is a GNSS augmentation Service, designed for high-end GPS users who need reliable, accurate position with a high level of integrity Traditional differential GPS, generically referred to as relative positioning, relies upon reference stations, which derive corrections for each GPS satellite measurement that are then applied at the user end to cancel out common errors. Technical specifications: Process type: Single difference (DGPS) Observations used: CA & P code, L1 & L2 carrier phase Measurement rate: 0.6 seconds

Availability: world wide HP satellites: Inmarsat 25E, 98W, 109E LP satellites: Inmarsat AORE, AORW, IOR, POR Data format: RTCM SC104 Message types: 1, 3, 15 & 16 Transmission rate: 1200 bps Typical Type 1 correction update rate: 7 seconds Typical Type 1 latency: 2 seconds Typical Type 1 average age of correction: <5 seconds Typical Type 15 correction update rate: <60 seconds Normal accuracy: Up to 2000Km: 1-2m (2DRMS)

6.2 RGPS SYSTEM The Seamap Buoylink Ex is a GPS based system capable of providing sub meter positioning of seismic gun floats, tailbuoys and other remote vehicles through the employment of data transmission by either cable or UHF radio telemetry or both simultaneously.

6.3 STREAMER POSITION CONTROL SYSTEM System 3 is a hardware and software package that controls and collects data from a network of acoustic sensors and streamer positioning devices. a) Compass Bird. Compass bird provides adjustable depth control, depth measurement, ballast information, and compass heading data. b) DigiRANGE Acoustic System. DigiRANGE Acoustic System is a collection of measurement devices arranged in a network to provide information that is used, along with other navigation data, to determine the geodetic position of hydrophone groups and energy sources. The system provides observations of acoustic transit time measurements between nodes (locations) of the network, with a range time resolution of 50µs for two-way ranges. Streamer Layout Diagram
