Revolutionise land seismic data acquisition with the market-leading nodal technology
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.
Delivering data quality equal to any other sensor on the market
Simultaneous charging and data harvesting within 4 hours with 28 days of data
Engineered to endure extreme conditions

At STRYDE, we know that for a seismic survey to be truly cost-effective, the total cost per channel must include the node cost as well as the node charging and data harvesting costs.
To ensure that our clients benefit further from our low-cost land seismic nodes, we offer three separate node receiver systems that enable rapid rotation of high-channel counts using scalable charging and harvesting units.

Accelerometers – like the piezoelectric sensors used in STRYDE – measure acceleration. Geophones measure velocity. The seismic data can be processed in either acceleration or velocity, and you can always choose your preferred domain, as the two units are easily convertible.
The frequency and phase response of the STRYDE sensor is flat between 1-125Hz. Sensitivity is 3.6V/g.
The STRYDE Node™ is the lightest node on the market by a factor of three. It weighs just 150g, and measures 129mm x 41mm.
Seismic deliverables are output from STRYDE systems in SEGD rev3 format. Software utilities are provided for ad hoc conversion to SEGY format, if required.
At STRYDE, we offer flexible lease and purchasing options, and rapid delivery of equipment to companies across the globe, enabled by existing pools of node inventory located in our suite of global warehouses. So whether you are looking to test equipment in preparation for future land seismic surveys, or want to lease or purchase thousands of STRYDE Nodes™ for an upcoming survey - we can tailor our commercial model to suit your business needs, budget, and timescale.
When you buy a system it’s automatically covered by our one-year warranty.
It takes 4 hours to recharge a node that has a completely depleted battery.
Each battery cell is designed to last the lifetime of the node – the cells are qualified for hundreds of charge cycles without significant loss of capacity.
Typical autonomy is 28 days for nodes that are acquiring data continuously, or 45 days for nodes acquiring data for 12 hours per day. Range+ has a node autonomy of 50 days of continuous recording.
The number of Nests (STRYDE's charge and harvesting hardware) controls how many nodes you can charge and harvest simultaneously. Each Nest has a capacity of 90 nodes. The largest STRYDE systems have 36 Nests, and can simultaneously charge and harvest data from 3,240 nodes at the same time.
For optimum performance, we recommend burying the nodes in the earth so that they are entirely covered with soil. In wet ground, this burying method may be detrimental to GNSS reception. STRYDE can advise on burying levels for your particular project, depending on your imaging objectives. If burying the node isn't an option, we have easy-to-attach spikes of various lengths, baseplates, and other options to choose from. We will always help you to select the best solution for each specific project.
STRYDE Nodes™ can be interrogated in the field to display and log QC information such as recording state, battery level, memory usage and GNSS performance, which can be analysed in camp to enable effective spread management.
The simplicity of the STRYDE deployment and retrieval workflow means that your field crew don't need to have any seismic experience. Language isn't a barrier either - our Navigator software is multilingual and exceptionally intuitive to use. This means novice field crew can be trained in a matter of hours.
The charging and harvesting system requires more expertise to operate. Full instruction will be given in a short training course that is tailored to your experience with seismic and project requirements.
The optical link is extremely robust – scratches on the cap don’t affect the quality of the data transfer. You simply need to clean any dirt from the nodes before loading into Nests for harvesting.
The STRYDE Navigator Tablet application guides operators to the position at which nodes are deployed. When the nodes are being buried it is common to use biodegradable paint, a pin flag or a short length of tape (attached to the node or nearby object) to mark the location where it was buried. In some environments (e.g. deep snow or sand dunes) nodes can be attached to a rope before burial to enable easy location and retrieval.
The STRYDE system is compatible with all seismic source types, both vibroseis and impulsive, including surveys that use a mixture of source types. Source times and positions are loaded and QC'ed in the STRYDE system (along with sweep information for vibroseis shots) and used to generate shot records. Both raw and correlated vibroseis records can be output. Continuous seismic records can also be output, e.g. for use in microseismic studies.
Yes – the system will generate receiver and shot gather deliverables as soon as the node data needed to create those deliverables has been harvested. The system includes QC software for viewing deliverables in the field.
