All members of the data processing team are highly trained in using the STRYDE system and can work closely with your acquisition team to make the data transfer to the processing environment as swift as possible. They also have a deep understanding of the STRYDE data format and can take advantage of the available information in the raw data to QC and fast-track your deliverables.

Beyond their technical prowess, the data processing team at STRYDE are familiar with common pitfalls in nodal sensor seismic processing, which can avoid a lot of unwanted reruns.. Using their collective expertise, they strive to break down barriers and ensure that the benefits of high-density seismic data can be leveraged by researchers and geologists across a number of sectors.
