Technological Challenge
Imaging the subsurface is a key component to lower the uncertainties of the positioning of the infrastructure together with estimates of mechanical properties (elastic properties).
Passive imaging techniques have rapidly grown in the past years and have now led to innovations available commercially as exemplified by the case of SISSTERRA above.

The use will be as a pre-survey to prepare and monitor the construction phase of the infrastructure.
Innovation
The passive seismic tomography could deliver more realistic geological models based on:
- further integration of 3D geological modelling,
- borehole data and outcrops taking advantage of recent machine learning techniques that allow producing realistic models.
Industrial relevance and further application fields
Not available.
