(WO) - STRYDE has secured six new contracts with leading academic institutions to provide its solutions, including its newest seismic system, "The STRYDE Mini System", across the US, Europe, and Africa.
The Mini System is a complete nodal seismic system specifically designed to enable small-scale seismic projects, including research projects for the academic sector.
STRYDE's investment in the development of the Mini System, coupled with recent contract wins, represents a continuation in the company's commitment to making seismic data accessible for any industry. This initiative also underscores their continued dedication to fostering collaborations between industry and academia, driving innovation, and nurturing talent for a sustainable future.
Rice University, the University of Exeter, and Uppsala University are some of the academic institutions leveraging STRYDE's cutting-edge technology to advance a variety of subsurface research initiatives in 2024.
These projects encompass a broad spectrum of applications, including geothermal well monitoring, geohazard identification for civil engineering, agritech, and mine development.
Mike Popham, STRYDE CEO said, "Our agile and lightweight seismic system offers a rapid, cost-effective solution for seismic data acquisition.
"At STRYDE, we understand that high costs can hinder fundamental research and development, and I am proud that by further miniaturizing our system, we've removed this barrier to innovation and can fulfil our mission of delivering high-density seismic capabilities across various industries. This advancement supports the next generation of geoscientists by equipping them with essential tools for conducting crucial research."
One of the secured contracts is with Rice University in Houston, who are using STRYDE's seismic system to perform subsurface monitoring of geothermal well stimulation at the Utah FORGE site with high-density seismic.
A STRYDE user at Rice University said, "This survey was the highest in density and channel count ever conducted by our team. Achieving our desired trace density within our time and labour constraints would not have been possible without STRYDE's agile nodes.
"The lightweight nature of these nodes marked a significant advancement for us, allowing for high-density deployments on foot, even in rough terrain."
STRYDE's technology has been deployed on a global scale, where over 760,000 unique nodes have been delivered to the market, supporting over 260 projects, in over 50 different countries, across multiple sectors, including oil and gas, mining, civil engineering, and emerging renewables markets.
