摘要

During the period from 17 June to 2 July 2010 a 4D seismic survey was conducted for Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd offshore the Astokh region of north-eastern Sakhalin Island, in the Russian Far East. This area includes the summer feeding grounds of the Western Grey Whale (Eschrichtius robustus), an endangered species. A total of 35 survey lines were acquired, some of them requiring repeat passes (complete or partial) because of technical issues, interruptions related to weather and visibility, or shutdowns due to the presence of whales in critical regions. Throughout the survey a field team of scientists (the authors among them) supported by the oil & gas company put into action a sophisticated noise exposure mitigation plan, developed through a multidisciplinary effort [1], which relied on an extensive pre-operation numerical modelling of the acoustic footprint of the seismic airgun array for a large number of source positions along each acquisition line. This preparatory work generated a comprehensive library of model cases that covered a broad range of potential sound propagation conditions through a combination of different acoustic medium parameters and sound level offset adjustments. Two types of modelling results were used in the field for distinct purposes. The first were sequences of estimated per-pulse Sound Exposure Level (SEL) values at the sea floor, indexed by source run distance (KP) along a survey line, at the sites of nine bottom-deployed acoustic telemetry stations. These sequences were used by the acoustics monitoring team to select a model case best matching the received pulse levels during the initial minute of a line acquisition, and thereafter to monitor and verify the accuracy of the model estimates as the seismic vessel progressed along the line. The second were static outline maps of the estimated shoreward 156 dB re 1μPa~2-s per-pulse SEL behavioural threshold [1], maximized over depth, for each survey line. These outlines, overlaid on specialized software for cetacean tracking, provided to observer teams a reference boundary - effectively "a line in the water" - defining whether a located animal was in a region where sound levels could cause a behavioural reaction.
