Technical evidence:
How effectively can seismic devices reduce the impact of wind-induced vibrations on the data they collect?
Land seismic is highly susceptible to wind noise, which can obscure signals.
Dense spread of surface arrays to cancel out noise — but that requires lots of geophones - complicating logistics and increasing cost.
Use of miniature nodes that can be buried quickly and easily.
A single buried node at 20 cm can reduce wind noise as effectively as a 16-geophone surface array, delivering 12 dB attenuation in the 40–100 Hz band.
STRYDE nodes effectively address key operational and data-quality challenges in land seismic acquisition.
Their ability to be quickly and easily buried ensures stronger coupling with the ground, resulting in lower noise and cleaner seismic data compared with surface-deployed nodes, which are more unstable and prone to interference.
Buried nodes also allow uninterrupted operations, as sources can pass directly over them without disruption, and their invisibility reduces the risk of theft, making them both safer and more efficient for field deployment.
