What our clients say

"For this project, our customer required high-trace density seismic data across 85 km² of challenging terrain, including tropical rainforests, lakes, and wetlands, making STRYDE’s agile nodes a clear choice.

“Having used other nodal equipment for previous surveys, we are impressed with how STRYDE’s nodes are enabling denser and faster data collection, at the same cost as traditional sparser surveys. In a competitive market where the speed and accuracy of acquisition are critical to the success of exploration projects, this advancement is invaluable."

"CCED are currently acquiring the world’s largest 3D node survey over our blocks 3 & 4 (29, 219 sqkm), onshore Oman. This nodal technology approach (c.165,000 channels) provides multiple benefits to CCED, by cutting down on data acquisition costs, minimizing HSE footprints in the field (less manual handling, reducing vehicle count from c.160 to c.40, reduced field crew size 600 to c.220 etc.), and expanded land access in our sabkha-dune environment, all to acquire high quality, operationally efficient (high density, point receiver geometries providing increased spatial sampling density, with no compromise to data quality) outcomes."

Always impressed by our partner STRYDE's innovative seismic technology!

We recently powered up some STRYDE Nodes™️ that had been dormant for a couple of months, and they sprang back to life effortlessly. The reliability and longevity of these nodes are truly remarkable.

Key benefits we’ve experienced:
•⁠ ⁠Quick reactivation after extended idle periods
•⁠ ⁠Robust performance in challenging environments

STRYDE’s autonomous nodal system is revolutionizing land seismic surveys with its compact size, lightweight design, and impressive battery life. It’s no wonder they’re making waves in the industry across the globe.

Looking forward to our continued partnership and the game-changing results we can achieve together!

"Surveying a large, complex agricultural area with diverse terrain and land access restrictions posed significant challenges, particularly related to receiver spread. However, STRYDE's cable-free, agile technology enabled us to efficiently overcome these obstacles to acquire a high-density 3D dataset with a 50% reduction in crew size, when compared to similar-sized cabled surveys we have conducted.

This reduction in crew size, combined with faster survey operations and the use of fewer vehicles, greatly streamlined our processes and, importantly, reduced our exposure to HSE risks.

The lack of real-time data visualisation wasn’t a concern, the dense distribution of autonomous nodes assured us that losing a few wouldn't impact the overall image quality. We were impressed by how comparable the data quality was to the cabled data we usually encounter.

STRYDE's innovative approach has transformed our survey operations, improving efficiency and adaptability without compromising data integrity and we look forward to deploying STRYDE Nodes™ on our next survey!"

"I have worked with bulky, and more costly nodal devices before and experienced limitations in terms of quantities we were able to afford, and how quickly they could be deployed. As a seismologist, being able to access and deploy a large number of miniature, low-cost instruments has totally changed the way we do microseismic monitoring, and I am really excited to start working with the data acquired."

“It’s a totally different scale and mind blowing to think how much this will change the efficiency of seismic operations. The support we had from STRYDE – despite all the challenges associated with the pandemic – was excellent."

"Until very recently, all of these projects were completed using bulky ‘cabled’ seismic systems, and these systems required larger acquisition teams, many more vehicles and also resulted in a greater environmental impact for ground access. Project risk existed because these many kilometers of cable and geophone arrays that were deployed on the surface had to be in constant communication. If a cable was broken, the crew was down. We know the STRYDE system is always listening. We are able to focus on generating energy signals, confident that our data is being captured. From a data quality standpoint, these small nodes have allowed us to increase the density of receiver locations on the ground by four to five times. This increased density of receivers sharpens the images we collect and results in better data for our clients. This project represents one of the lowest environmental impact solutions possible for seismic operations."

"After seeing the quality of data and efficiency STRYDE nodes delivered last year, the decision to use them again was clear.

STRYDE’s system provides the reliability and precision we need to meet the objectives of this new survey, helping us navigate Nigeria’s complex landscapes and deliver value to our clients."

"Thanks to STRYDE Nodes™, we were able to significantly reduce the project timeline and costs, allowing our client to quadruple the size of their survey.

The survey was completed quickly with a small crew and with minimal environmental disturbance. The high-quality data we acquired perfectly met our client's needs, enabling them to de-risk their coal developments and we couldn't be happier with the results!"

"We are proud to use the latest seismic technology to gather seismic data across a 4 km² area surrounding existing wells and oilfield infrastructure. In this challenging environment, deploying traditional cabled geophone arrays or analogic bulky nodal devices would have been extremely difficult, and expensive.

“The high-density spatial sampling enabled by STRYDE’s small, lightweight, and cable-free nodes was crucial to the success of this one of a kind project in Mexico.”

"This survey was the highest in density and channel count ever conducted by our team. Achieving our desired trace density within our time and labour constraints would not have been possible without STRYDE's agile nodes.

The lightweight nature of these nodes marked a significant advancement for us, allowing for high-density deployments on foot, even in rough terrain.

Our team was thoroughly impressed with the STRYDE system, particularly valuing the integrated node deployment backpack, navigation tablet, GPS unit, and node initialisation device, which greatly enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of our deployment process."

"For our clients Sinergy and BEG (Aproz, CH), we successfully planned and acquired an optimized 3D survey of approximately 2500 traces in the beautiful Swiss Alps using the STRYDE nodal system in under three weeks, encompassing layout, acquisition, pickup and raw data delivery !

Unlike traditional orthogonal 3D methods, which use regular grid patterns for receivers and sources, our optimized 3D acquisition strategy leverages existing infrastructures and roads from the survey planning stage. This novel approach integrates the urban environment, building the survey around it.

The benefits? Smoother, faster, and more cost-effective operations, while ensuring excellent data quality and coverage"

"We chose STRYDE due to the data quality that was able to be acquired from a lightweight, simple, and low-cost wireless system. Compared with other nodal systems, the STRYDE system is much lower priced and its impact on operational efficiency is higher, and this is even more magnified when compared to wired geophone systems! We look forward to using STRYDE again soon."

“Before STRYDE, there were compromises on survey geometry and seismic quality. Our vision is to accelerate seismic acquisition without compromising quality. The proof is that our geothermal clients are incredibly happy with the results they're seeing, STRYDE's technology is taking away much of the risk they would traditionally face. That's why we love STRYDE.”

“Not only did we get access to next-generation seismic instruments, but the contact with experienced seismologists at STRYDE (who clearly understood what instrument characteristics were important for our application), provided advice on how to maximise success on the deployment was a real bonus for us. I was especially impressed by the number of instruments we were able to quickly deploy and the per-unit cost which I believe has the potential to revolutionise microseismic studies, even above and beyond other node providers.”

“Most onshore seismic surveys completed by DNO have used cabled geophones to record seismic data and in my experience, a similar survey of this size and complexity using cabled receivers would have taken 2-3 times as long to complete. After seeing how efficient the STRYDE system is, and the cost savings we can make without compromising the seismic data resolution, I very much doubt we will ever use cabled systems again!"

"Out of all the STRYDE Nodes we have deployed and retrieved in the last 24 months, we have lost less than 0.4% of the data (>99.6% data recovery). On one project, with over 19,000 nodes deployed for 4 weeks, we recovered 100% of the data - every sample from every trace."

“Working with the latest acquisition technology we realise our crews can be more efficient, safer and deliver better quality data to our customers, allowing them to radically improve their geological understanding by obtaining high-definition seismic imaging in even more challenging terrains.”

“I'm sold on STRYDE. Working with STRYDE has been a great experience. Without their technology we wouldn’t even dream of doing a microseismic acquisition project like this, simply because of the amount of time, equipment, and cost, not to mention the environmental footprint, traditionally associated with seismic activity."

"There are lots of benefits to working with STRYDE’s technology. The nodes are incredibly portable and unintrusive. There’s also no complicated connection needed, which makes the whole process of deploying and retrieving the nodes effortless. And crucially for us it keeps our costs down. But most importantly, we are delighted with data we got back from this project. "

"The new STRYDE system allowed us to collect large datasets with a smaller team!

This past field season, injuries and illness took most of our field team, if we were using a traditional cable system, we would have never been able to collect the amount of data we did.

This technology also allows for longer seismic lines with denser node spacing. This gives us unprecedented views of the subsurface at detailed and full-forest scale."
