Case study
To support hydrocarbon exploration, a Polish oil and gas operator commissioned Geopartner Geofizyka to conduct a 3D seismic survey to generate a high-resolution image of the subsurface.

Meet the STRYDE Nimble Seismic System - helping seismic crews move faster and acquire better seismic data, for less.
“Since 2022, we have successfully acquired high-resolution seismic data for multiple clients across Europe using the STRYDE Nimble Seismic System.
For this project, it was an easy decision to expand our STRYDE inventory to acquire seismic across such a vast area of land, not only because the system is cost-effective, but because our clients are consistently impressed with the quality of the seismic deliverables and the speed at which data can be made available.
We’ve experienced first-hand the remarkable impact of STRYDE’s technology, but what truly sets them apart is their team. The expertise, adaptability, and determination demonstrated by STRYDE consistently exceeds our expectations.
We’re excited to continue our partnership with them on upcoming projects, confident that their solutions will once again deliver exceptional results."
