Rethinking seismic sensors to reform onshore exploration in the Middle East and Asia

Rethinking seismic sensors to reform onshore exploration in the Middle East and Asia

In this technical paper published in First Break, Chris Einchcomb, Geophysical Consultant at STRYDE, shines a light on several areas companies typically look at when considering land seismic operations, and explores what costs savings can be achieved through nodal technology in exploration hotspots such as the Middle East and Asia.

Acquiring sustainable, efficient high-resolution seismic data for geothermal exploration in an urban environment

Acquiring sustainable, efficient high-resolution seismic data for geothermal exploration in an urban environment

This technical paper published by EAGE and written by Nick Tranter (STRYDE), Richard de Kunder (Seismic Mechatronics), Ben Turner (Dayboro Geophysical) and Guy Drijkoningen (Delft University of Technology), discusses how an eVibe paired with STRYDE Nodes™ were used in a restrictive urban environment.

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

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

Rapid in-field QC is required to important that the throughflow of huge data volumes (each (1) enable the identification of faulty equipment, even if rare; charging and harvesting container can process 20,000 fully (2) identify areas with anomalous noise characteristics in depleted 4GB nodes per day) does not delay the presentation order to inform ongoing operations; (3) rapidly assess of useful data attributes and detection of faulty equipment.

The case for a nimble Node, towards a new land seismic receiver system with unlimited channels

The case for a nimble Node, towards a new land seismic receiver system with unlimited channels

This paper outlines the need for a receiver-side technology shift to overcome many of the existing hurdles that hinder the economic acquisition of quality land seismic, such as significant HSE exposure, limited channel count, difficult terrain access, long survey durations and high survey costs.

A Comparative Field Trial of a New Nimble Node and Cabled Systems in a Desert Environment

A Comparative Field Trial of a New Nimble Node and Cabled Systems in a Desert Environment

STRYDE's new nimble node is tested in the desert compared to cabled systems. The system offers the smallest and lightest fully autonomous node for land seismic acquisition, barely bigger than a conventional geophone.
