High density seismic with zero environmental footprint

Case Study • September 4, 2020

Explor approached STRYDE to trial our STRYDE Nimble system™ in conjunction with their innovative Pinpoint® seismic source for a mining client. The aim was to gather a 2D seismic line to confirm the suitability of STRYDE in mountainous terrain.

“We share a common vision for the future of land seismic, whereby technologies such as PinPoint and STRYDE allow zero environmental impact seismic acquisition.” - Mike Popham, CEO, STRYDE

Over the course of the three day trial, the tiny Explor team deployed a total of several hundred STRYDE Nodes™ three metres apart in extremely mountainous terrain. PinPoint’s design makes it extremely portable and removes the need for environmentally disruptive line clearing – a particular issue in Canada where the traditional acquisition of high trace density seismic often requires significant amounts of heavy machinery for land preparation, including removing forest.
