STRYDE expands land seismic portfolio with Halo node family
(WO) — STRYDE has introduced a new family of seismic nodes designed to provide greater flexibility, connectivity and imaging performance for land seismic acquisition projects.
The Halo product line was unveiled this week at the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) Annual Conference in Aberdeen and expands the company's portfolio of nodal technologies used in onshore seismic surveys.
The new platform includes three products—Halo Classic, Halo Connect and Halo Chrono+—allowing operators to select different node capabilities based on survey objectives, environmental conditions and operational requirements while remaining compatible with STRYDE's existing acquisition systems.
According to the company, the Halo family was developed in response to customer demand for greater flexibility in quality control, communications and timing synchronization, particularly in challenging operating environments.
Halo Connect and Halo Chrono+ introduce wireless in-field quality control and communications capabilities, while Halo Chrono+ is designed to improve time synchronization in areas where GNSS performance may be limited, including jungle, swamp, marshland and urban environments.
STRYDE said the new nodes also provide a wider frequency response to support higher-resolution imaging for both near-surface investigations and deeper resource exploration targets.
“The launch of Halo marks a major milestone for STRYDE and for the wider land seismic industry,” said Mike Popham, CEO of STRYDE. “Operators no longer have to take a one-size-fits-all approach. They can deploy a mix of nodes within the same survey, combining autonomous acquisition, wireless QC and enhanced timing capabilities depending on what their project requires.”
The launch follows significant growth in adoption of STRYDE's nodal technology. The company said more than one million nodes have now been delivered globally, supporting high-density seismic surveys across multiple industries and geographies.
STRYDE said the Halo platform has already undergone field deployments in several regions and was developed using feedback from customers operating in a variety of survey environments.
