What our clients say

Oil and Gas: Jurgen Hoffmann, Geoscience Manager at DNO

“Most onshore seismic surveys completed by DNO have used cabled geophones to record seismic data and in my experience, a similar survey of this size and complexity using cabled receivers would have taken 2-3 times as long to complete. After seeing how efficient the STRYDE system is, and the cost savings we can make without compromising the seismic data resolution, I very much doubt we will ever use cabled systems again!"

Oil and Gas: Eskil Jersing, Exploration and Appraisal Director at CCED

"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 (c.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."

Oil and Gas - Scott Macmillan at Invictus Energy

"The use of STRYDE Nodes resulted in the acquisition of an incredible seismic dataset. The amount of data gathered is approximately 200 times greater than the previous survey carried out by Mobil in 1990 and results from processing and interpretation are shedding new light on the petroleum potential of the Cabora Bassa basin."

Oil and Gas: Miles Newman at Reach

"There are lots of benefits to working with STRYDE’s technology. The nodes are incredibly portable and unintrusive. There’s also no complicated connection needed, which makes the whole process of deploying and retrieving the nodes effortless. And crucially for us it keeps our costs down. But most importantly, we are delighted with data we got back from this project. "

Oil and Gas: Brendon Mitchell at OceaniaGeo

“I'm sold on STRYDE. Working with STRYDE has been a great experience. Without their technology we wouldn’t even dream of doing a microseismic acquisition project like this, simply because of the amount of time, equipment, and cost, not to mention the environmental footprint, traditionally associated with seismic activity."

Oil and Gas: Salim Ajib Alhajri at AGS

“Working with the latest acquisition technology we realise our crews can be more efficient, safer and deliver better quality data to our customers, allowing them to radically improve their geological understanding by obtaining high-definition seismic imaging in even more challenging terrains.”

Energy Exploration: Allan Châtenay at Explor

"Out of all the STRYDE Nodes we have deployed and retrieved in the last 24 months, we have lost less than 0.4% of the data (>99.6% data recovery). On one project, with over 19,000 nodes deployed for 4 weeks, we recovered 100% of the data - every sample from every trace."

Geothermal: Tom Hudson at University of Oxford

“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. 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.”

Geothermal: Claudio Strobbia at realtimeseismic

“Before STRYDE, there were compromises on survey geometry and seismic quality. Our vision is to accelerate seismic acquisition without compromising quality. The proof is that our geothermal clients are incredibly happy with the results they're seeing, STRYDE's technology is taking away much of the risk they would traditionally face. That's why we love STRYDE.”

Mining: Zeng Qing Cheng, Chief Geophysicist at Shanxi Coal

"We chose STRYDE due to the data quality that was able to be acquired from a lightweight, simple, and low-cost wireless system. Compared with other nodal systems, the STRYDE system is much lower priced and its impact on operational efficiency is higher, and this is even more magnified when compared to wired geophone systems! We look forward to using STRYDE again soon."

Oil and Gas: Bill Mooney at Polaris Natural Resources

"Until very recently, all of these projects were completed using bulky ‘cabled’ seismic systems, and these systems required larger acquisition teams, many more vehicles and also resulted in a greater environmental impact for ground access. Project risk existed because these many kilometers of cable and geophone arrays that were deployed on the surface had to be in constant communication. If a cable was broken, the crew was down. We know the STRYDE system is always listening. We are able to focus on generating energy signals, confident that our data is being captured. From a data quality standpoint, these small nodes have allowed us to increase the density of receiver locations on the ground by four to five times. This increased density of receivers sharpens the images we collect and results in better data for our clients. This project represents one of the lowest environmental impact solutions possible for seismic operations."

“It’s a totally different scale and mind blowing to think how much this will change the efficiency of seismic operations. The support we had from STRYDE – despite all the challenges associated with the pandemic – was excellent."

Geothermal: Tom Kettlety, Research Fellow at University of Oxford

"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."
