STRYDE, the company behind the world’s smallest, fully autonomous seismic node, has announced the signing of two significant contracts with Servicios Sísmicos de Exploración (SSE) and SeisGlobe Geoservices. These contracts represent STRYDE’s first projects in Mexico and strengthen its foothold in the Latin American market.

Under the first contract, STRYDE has supplied 19,080 nodes and the company’s Nimble Receiver System™ to SSE to enable 2D and 3D seismic surveys, across Southern Mexico.

“For this project, our customer required high-trace density seismic data across 85 km of challenging terrain, including tropical rainforests, lakes, and wetlands, making STRYDE’s agile nodes a clear choice,” said Javier Nuñez Carbajal, managing director at SSE.

“Having used other nodal equipment for previous surveys, we are impressed with how STRYDE’s nodes are enabling denser and faster data collection, at the same cost as traditional sparser surveys. In a competitive market where the speed and accuracy of acquisition are critical to the success of exploration projects, this advancement is invaluable,” added Carbajal.

Initially, the 3D survey was planned with a 60-meter spacing between receivers. However, STRYDE’s affordable technology has enabled SSE to densify the survey design by reducing the receiver spacing to 30 meters. This doubling of receiver density will yield significantly higher-definition seismic data, enhancing their customers’ understanding of the subsurface and leading to better decision-making.

“The market’s adoption of autonomous nodes is a strong endorsement of STRYDE’s reputation for reliability. Our technology has consistently demonstrated its durability and accuracy in a variety of challenging environments,” said Victor Villamizar, head of Business Development for Latin America at STRYDE.

“This proven performance has built confidence in STRYDE’s solutions, driving the shift away from traditional cabled systems and bulky nodes. By eliminating the complex management of cumbersome cables and unnecessary features, we not only reduce the common logistical challenges and equipment downtime, but also lower overall project costs,” added Villamizar.

Under the second contract, STRYDE has supplied SeisGlobe Geoservices with a 3,600-node seismic system, to enable the first land 4D3C seismic survey over a Southeast Field in Mexico, aimed at identifying reservoir optimization opportunities — crucial for addressing Mexico’s declining oil and gas reservoirs.

“We are proud to use the latest seismic technology to gather seismic data across a 4 km area surrounding existing wells and oilfield infrastructure. In this challenging environment, deploying traditional cabled geophone arrays or analogic bulky nodal devices would have been extremely difficult, and expensive,” said Miguel Gomez, managing director at SeisGlobe Geoservices.
