About the Mini System

The STRYDE Mini System is a complete, lightweight nodal seismic acquisition system designed for land seismic projects requiring up to 1,500 channels.

Purpose-built for small-scale seismic surveys, research programmes, pilot studies, and low-channel-count acquisition projects, it provides a flexible and cost-effective way to acquire high-quality seismic data without the complexity of larger-scale systems.

The system supports a wide range of acquisition methods and can be used with any source type, including weight drop, dynamite, and vibroseis, as well as for passive seismic monitoring. Its compact design makes it ideal for teams seeking a simple, scalable, and field-proven solution for efficient land seismic data acquisition.

User benefits

Untitled design 25

Nodal seismic acquisition using the world’s smallest, lightest and lowest cost nodes enables faster field operations without the channel-count limitations inherent in cabled seismograph systems or expensive nodal devices.

Untitled design 25

Industry-leading cost per channel makes higher channel count surveys affordable and opens up new options for survey design and field operations.

Untitled design 25

Leverage larger channel counts to eliminate the need to roll your spread during 2D and refraction surveys, acquire denser surveys with longer offsets, or even acquire small-scale 3Ds for near-surface applications.

Cable-free seismic acquisition means field logistics are easier than ever before. Acquire data in even the most challenging environments with STRYDE Nodes™, using small teams and minimal vehicles.

"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.”
