The STRYDE Mini Seismic System

Going beyond the limits of cabled seismographs to revolutionise small-scale seismic acquisition projects

Mini system

About the Mini System


The STRYDE Mini System is a complete nodal seismic system designed to enable land seismic projects requiring up to 1,500 channels.

Ideal for small-scale seismic surveys and research projects, this system can be used with any source type including weight drop, dynamite and vibroseis, or for passive seismic acquisition.

Imagine what you would do with a higher channel count?

User benefits

Untitled design 25

Nodal seismic acquisition using the world’s smallest, lightest and lowest cost nodes enables faster field operations without the channel-count limitations inherent in cabled seismograph systems or expensive nodal devices.

Untitled design 25

Industry-leading cost per channel makes higher channel count surveys affordable and opens up new options for survey design and field operations.

Untitled design 25

Leverage larger channel counts to eliminate the need to roll your spread during 2D and refraction surveys, acquire denser surveys with longer offsets, or even acquire small-scale 3Ds for near-surface applications.

Cable-free seismic acquisition means field logistics are easier than ever before. Acquire data in even the most challenging environments with STRYDE Nodes™, using small teams and minimal vehicles.

"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.”

Seismic Node Arrays for Enhanced Understanding and Monitoring of Geothermal Systems

Seismic Node Arrays for Enhanced Understanding and Monitoring of Geothermal Systems

Here, we explore how recent low-cost seismic node instrumentation advances might enhance geothermal exploration and monitoring. We show the results from 450 nodes deployed at a geothermal prospect in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
