STRYDE’s Nimble Seismic System has been selected by DMT Group to acquire high-density seismic data for an onshore 3D oil and gas exploration project in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI)
Equipped with 31,000 nodes, the system will enable DMT to deploy and retrieve large volumes of nodes quickly, with minimal personnel, reduced health and safety risk, and less environmental footprint. It will enable the acquisition of detailed, high-resolution subsurface data in complex and challenging terrain. The seismic data gathered will be instrumental in reducing geological uncertainty, improving reservoir characterisation, and enhancing well placement strategies, ultimately supporting more informed and cost-efficient exploration and decisions in KRI’s evolving energy landscape.
“We’re excited to see our technology supporting another ambitious and strategically important exploration campaign in the Middle East,” said Mehdi Tascher, sales director at STRYDE.
“Achieving the resolution required for accurate subsurface imaging and confident exploration decisions relies on data density captured through nodes deployed in a dense receiver grid. Enabling this level of unrivalled seismic detail for DMT is exactly why STRYDE was created.”
“STRYDE’s system is a critical enabler for delivering the data density our client needs from this challenging area,” said Thorsten Mueller, Manager of DMT’s branch office in KRI.
“The small, lightweight nature of the nodes will allow us to efficiently deploy a high number of receivers in remote and difficult-to-access locations. Coupled with the STRYDE’s high-capacity node harvesting and data handling system, this means we can operate with greater agility, lower logistics overhead, and acquire the high-quality seismic data needed for our customer.”
Since entering the market in 2020, STRYDE has delivered more than one million land seismic nodes. This reflects not only STRYDE’s rapid growth but also a broader industry shift from traditional cabled systems to fully autonomous nodal technology, and from bulky, high-cost nodes to lightweight, affordable solutions that enable high-density seismic acquisition at scale.
