Pinpoint viable geothermal production locations and monitor wells during operations with cutting-edge land seismic technology and solutions
Most geothermal projects are awarded on the basis that risks can be mitigated, these risks are detailed in permit application and are focused on safety assurance, regulatory compliance and efficiency
Historically geothermal production has been a high-cost industry, with limited budgets impacting exploration and monitoring efforts of geothermal wells
The energy capacity factor provided, dependability, longevity are all recognised benefits, however the upfront cost and risk is high, resulting in projects requiring significant de-risking tactics
Regardless of the well type, power or heat, deep or shallow, open-loop or closed-loop systems, well failures occur regularly, at rates similar to O&G and because most geothermal project costs come from the drilling, reducing well failure and well count is important
Land seismic data can be used to de-risk decision making and drilling operations by pinpointing viable geothermal production locations and monitoring well integrity during operations. Discover the seismic surveys that make this possible...

Efficient and cost-effective seismic inclusive of the world's smallest, lightest and most affordable receiver system, source technologies and the survey acquisition team required to execute the survey
Low cost, fast-track seismic data processing, inclusive of time, depth and analysis of seismicity data
The world needs high-resolution seismic data to mitigate risks and expedite the transition to a net-zero future. However, progress has been hindered by bulky and expensive seismic equipment. That’s why STRYDE has developed the world’s smallest, lightest, and most cost-effective autonomous nodal technology.
Our innovative solution features two separate nodal technologies, the STRYDE Node™ and its enhanced version, the STRYDE Node™ Range+. Both are designed to revolutionise seismic data quality while significantly improving the speed and reducing the cost of acquisition in any onshore environment.
With a minimum battery life of 28 days, extendable to 45 days using calendar mode, and 4GB of memory storage, this node is perfectly suited for both conventional and high-density seismic reflection surveys.
Its extended operational time, exceptional reliability statistics and ample storage capacity ensure uninterrupted data collection, making it an ideal choice for capturing high-resolution seismic data across diverse onshore environments and terrains.
Boasting an extended battery life that supports 50 days of continuous recording, a re-engineered GNSS solution for superior positioning accuracy, 8GB of memory storage, and the ability to record sensor tilt, this node is exceptionally well-suited for deployment in urban areas, dense canopies, wet conditions, and sand dunes.
Range+ is the perfect solution for acquiring seismic data in complex onshore settings, ensuring reliable and high-quality seismic.
“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.
The STRYDE Navigator Tablet and App provided location accuracy of node locations for retrieval that was particularly impressive and was essential for retrieving the nodes in what was challenging terrain, and reduced the retrieval time (and therefore cost/man hours) down to 24 hours.
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.”

As the creators of the world’s smallest, lightest and most affordable seismic receiver node, STRYDE makes seismic accessible to the geothermal industry by reducing costs and logistical requirements, minimising HSE risk and environmental footprint and allowing seismic to be acquired in urban and environmentally restricted areas.
The STRYDE Nimble System™ is designed to help unlock and de-risk geothermal projects. Hear more from our Product Manager, Tom O'Toole, as he runs through all the capabilities of our cutting-edge land seismic technology that will deliver the seismic data you need to make informed decisions at pace.
Rely on an experienced team who have supported geothermal projects in Europe, North America, and Asia to navigate through regulations and benefit high-resolution seismic data to improve subsurface knowledge and reduce the likelihood of well/and or project failure.
Use of world’s smallest and lightest seismic receiver node results in the ability to deploy hundreds of nodes a day by foot, meaning fewer deployment resources and minimal requirements for line clearance for significantly reduced environmental impact and surveys being supported and sanctioned by landowners.
STRYDE technology allows seismic acquisition teams to reduce exposure to HSE risk by requiring fewer vehicles and people in the field. Due to the low cost of our solutions, we make monitoring affordable, helping our clients assure the integrity of subsurface wells.
"STRYDE’s Nodes™ have enabled us to plan and deploy a seismic survey that with more traditional, or cabled systems simply would not be feasible. We anticipate that the data acquired will enable us to gain valuable insights into novel processing workflows with the aim of improving our ability to image the subsurface and identify geothermal resources. All the time doing so cost effectively and with minimal environmental impact, in addition to minimising risk.”
