Africa Geophysical Services expands onshore seismic operations with new STRYDE seismic systems

STRYDE Nimble

Africa Geophysical Services LLC (AGS) has invested in two new STRYDE Nimble Seismic Systems, further strengthening its operational capabilities and supporting its expansion across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Accelerating exploration across continents

In the coming weeks, the Nimble Systems will be deployed on exploration projects in Tanzania, where they will help AGS deliver high-quality, cost-effective seismic data for regional exploration campaigns.

The new systems will play a central role in AGS’s ongoing mission to provide clients with fast, reliable, and affordable land seismic acquisition solutions, underpinned by STRYDE’s lightweight, scalable, and field-proven nodal technology.

Building on record-breaking success in Oman

This latest investment follows AGS’s record-setting achievement in Oman, where the company completed the world’s largest nodal seismic survey using 166,000 STRYDE nodes.

That project was delivered using STRYDE’s containerised and semi-automated seismic acquisition system, which significantly reduced field logistics and operational costs while maintaining exceptional data quality.

Client and partner perspectives

🗣️ Steve Thomas, Managing Director at AGS, commented:

“After the exceptional performance we experienced with STRYDE on our recent projects, choosing to purchase another system was a no-brainer. The system’s flexibility, reliability, and the support we received were unmatched.”

🗣️ Mehdi Tascher, Sales Director at STRYDE, added:

“We’re proud to be part of AGS’s growth journey as they continue to push boundaries in land seismic acquisition, powered by STRYDE’s lightweight, scalable, and field-proven nodal technology.”

Driving innovation in global seismic acquisition

The adoption of two new STRYDE Nimble Systems by AGS further reinforces the growing demand for portable, efficient, and cost-effective seismic acquisition solutions worldwide. STRYDE’s technology continues to empower operators and contractors to collect high-density seismic data faster, safer, and at a fraction of the traditional cost — transforming the economics of exploration in emerging and established markets alike.

👏 Congratulations to the AGS team on this milestone and continued success as they expand into new territories with STRYDE technology at the core of their operations.
