GTG International (GTGi) has secured a series of significant contract wins to deliver land seismic projects across Europe, encompassing both 2D and 3D seismic surveys. To ensure the efficient and effective execution of these projects, GTGi has expanded its seismic sensor inventory by acquiring 30,000 STRYDE nodes.
STRYDE, the world’s leading provider of land nodal seismic technology, played a pivotal role in enabling GTGi to secure these contracts by providing the recording technology to acquire seismic data rapidly and cost-effectively.
This partnership will empower GTGi to deliver high-quality seismic data essential for a range of energy exploration and decarbonization initiatives across the EU, including carbon capture and storage (CCS), geothermal energy, and hydrogen resource exploration.
This new agreement comes after the successful use of STRYDE’s seismic technology on over 20 projects across Switzerland, France, Italy, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Morocco, and Turkey. These projects demonstrated the superior efficiency, affordability, and data quality delivered by STRYDE’s nimble seismic systems in diverse and challenging environments.
Mike Popham, CEO of STRYDE, commented:
“We are proud to continue our partnership with GTGi to provide them with more of our cutting-edge seismic sensors.
“This agreement further underscores our unwavering ability to transform seismic data acquisition by delivering solutions that not only enhance trace density for superior imaging but also do so at no additional cost and with unprecedented speed, even in challenging urban environments and in difficult terrain.”
Based in France, GTGi is a leader in providing geophysical solutions for energy transition projects and is at the forefront of advancing seismic imaging technologies to support sustainable energy exploration. The 30,000 STRYDE nodes will empower GTGi to conduct seismic surveys with exceptional scale and resolution, aiding the identification of optimal subsurface resources while reducing exploration and underground storage risks.
David Dupuy, Director of GTGi, shared:
“Apart from delivering superior data quality, STRYDE’s nodes offer unparalleled operational advantages.
They require 4 to 5 times fewer vehicles and personnel for transportation, can be deployed using light vehicles as opposed to heavy trucks, eliminate the need for receiver line cutting, and have minimal environmental impact due to their small and discreet footprint.
Combined with our expertise in operating multiple vibrators simultaneously within a given area, these benefits significantly reduce acquisition time while ensuring the highest data quality.”
Claudio Strobbia, Global Geophysical Advisor of GTGi, added:
“Our focus has always been on leveraging the best available technology to deliver subsurface data at the highest resolution possible. Maximizing the operational efficiency is key in the new-energy context, as well as minimising the impact of the operations.
With STRYDE’s advanced nodal technology, we’ll be able to expand our solutions across more customers and address the growing demand for high-resolution seismic data. These nodes are a game-changer for the industry, and we are proud to integrate them into our operations.”
This agreement highlights the increasing adoption of STRYDE’s seismic technology in the energy sector, particularly in geothermal exploration, which is gaining momentum as a key contributor to the global energy transition.
STRYDE’s nodes, renowned for their portability, efficiency, and affordability, continue to enable energy companies to explore the subsurface with greater accuracy and cost-effectiveness.
