For example, resident autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) equipped with the optical transmitter would be able (i) to charge batteries of undersea sensors such as wellhead sensors and telemetry of well-monitoring systems...

.... The current, prevailing method for seep hunting requires multiple steps, first using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to survey the seabed, followed by deployment of large manned service vessels and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). In contrast, the new approach can discover and analyze seepages in one...
