Smart Seismic Solutions (S3) has purchased the STRYDE system — 20,000 nodes plus the Nimble system — to expand its acquisition portfolio. The move comes as Europe expands carbon capture and storage (CCS), increasing demand for the technology.
Seismic systems use sensors to track surface vibrations, map rock layers and subsurface structures, and identify potential exploration areas before companies commit to drilling.
Patrick Robert, CEO of S3, said the decision to purchase the system was an easy one. “It is a key success factor in making seismic data acquisition more accessible for new energy exploration,” he said.
STRYDE says its micronodes and batch handling design allow contractors to add data density without increasing project timelines. Mike Popham, CEO of STRYDE, added: “This contract reflects our core mission: to make high-definition onshore seismic data accessible to any industry.”
The purchase agreement follows S3’s previous deployments of STRYDE leased nodes across Europe. This includes a 50,000-node CCS campaign in Denmark in early 2026. According to the company, this investment indicates a long-term commitment to STRYDE technology.
