Stryde has opened offices in Houston and Dubai to respond to greater global demand for its nodal systems.
Stryde has opened offices in Houston and Dubai to respond to greater global demand for its nodal systems.
Over the last few months, the technology provider has signed a deal to provide Africa Geophysical Services (AGS) with 150,000 nodes for seismic projects – the largest deal for the company in the region and the highest-ever number of nodes used for seismic acquisition in a project in the Middle East.
In North America, Stryde has won a two-phase project to provide data for a carbon capture underground storage (CCUS) project.
The company claims to provide the smallest, lightest autonomous node on the market and, overall, more than 400,000 Stryde nodes have been delivered for high-density seismic acquisition projects across 17 countries.
To oversee further growth, Stryde has appointed Camilla Lapierre as chief technology officer and Kevin O’Connell as head of field operations.
Lapierre has more than 15 years’ experience of technical leadership in seismic and geoscience industries. She will develop the technical capabilities of Stryde’s nodal system and pursue the company’s mission to redefine the entry price to seismic data.
In his role as head of field operations based in Dubai, O’Connell will bring to bear his 30 years of experience in seismic technical support.
Stryde said that the growth of the business and its increasing market share – particularly in oil and gas – shows that demand for high-density seismic data is increasing, with oil and gas operators looking to maximize the value of both new and existing upstream projects.
Mike Popham, CEO, Stryde, said: ‘Ultra high definition seismic acquisition is revolutionizing complex geological imaging and enhancing modelling of existing reservoirs. It can dramatically increase the value of all upstream projects, including existing reservoirs and mature markets.
‘And it doesn’t need to be expensive, unwieldy, or slow. Seismic acquisition is now easier and more affordable than ever and, forward-thinking operators and seismic contractors are catching on. Through our new office openings and senior hires, we are bringing our innovative seismic solutions to new markets.’
