Nodal seismic acquisition
How we can help

Improve your subsurface image with the latest seismic technology

At STRYDE, we help companies fast-track high-density seismic acquisition with state-of-the-art nodal technology and data processing solutions.

We’ve brought onshore subsurface imaging out of the dark ages for companies operating in the oil and gas sector seeking to:

  • Efficiently explore for new hydrocarbon production opportunities
  • Maximize production capacity from existing reservoirs

How we do it

Cutting-edge wireless technology

Traditionally, land seismic in the Middle East has been acquired through complex cabled geophones or large nodal devices that are restrictive, risky, and expensive solutions for seismic acquisition.

The use of miniature, low-cost nodal devices like STRYDE’s Nodes™ enables companies to deploy significantly more receiver devices at an affordable price point.

This results in denser seismic and elimination of blind spots, helping fast-track and better reconstruction of the subsurface image during processing to deliver a high-resolution seismic image.

STRYDE vs cables

Discover how seismic surveys differ depending on the type of seismic sensor used. Here we show how nodal seismic sensors compare to cabled geophone arrays for a 3D seismic survey in a desert environment.

Our 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.

The STRYDE Node

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.

The STRYDE Node

STRYDE Node Range+

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.

Node receiver systems

Discover our node receiver systems

At STRYDE, we know that to be truly cost-effective when acquiring high-density data, the total cost per channel must include the node cost as well as the charging and data harvesting costs and time.

We have developed 3 separate node management systems which have scalable charging and harvesting units (Nests), to ensure our solution enables cost-effective, efficient, and effective high-density land seismic acquisition, for any survey size.

The Compact System™
The Nimble System™
The Pro System™

The Compact System™

A containerized node management solution to efficiently manage, charge and harvest data from up to 150,000 nodes in the field. This system has the capacity to charge and harvest up to 13,000 nodes per day - allowing survey teams to work faster, perform better and go further.

The Nimble System™

A small-scale and portable seismic nodal system, capable of managing, charging, and harvesting data from up to 30,000 nodes in the field. This system has the capacity to charge and harvest up to 3,000 nodes per day.

image

The Pro System™

A 3-container solution designed for efficient node management, charging, data harvesting, and cleaning of up to 1 million nodes in the field. This system has the capacity to charge and harvest up to 20,000 nodes per day, allowing dense and large-scale surveys to be delivered faster than ever before.

"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 (+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."

In-field quality control of very high channel count autonomous nodal systems

We outline key design principles to address these challenges and show results from a recent field trial during which 50,800 prototype lightweight autonomous nodes were deployed a total of 500,000 times (with a fault rate of only 0.16% per month). We also show examples of how apparently mundaneattributes of the continuously recorded data can acquire an unexpected value when acquired at high density over large areas.
