STRYDE will supply 12 000 Range+ seismic nodes plus its Nimble Seismic Acquisition System to PT SUCOFINDO (PERSERO), the Indonesian inspection and survey services company that provides geological, geophysical and seismic services to the country's oil and gas sector.

The agreement deepens STRYDE's footprint in Indonesia, where lightweight nodal technology has gained traction among seismic crews working dense jungle, heavy vegetation and acreage with limited access — conditions that inflate logistics costs for conventional cable-based acquisition.

What does the deal cover?

The package combines three elements:

• 12 000 STRYDE Range+ seismic nodes for an upcoming seismic survey;
• The STRYDE Nimble Seismic Acquisition System, built to manage large node inventories in the field;
• On-site support from one of STRYDE's dedicated field support geophysicists for Southeast Asia, covering system start-up and user training, with remote assistance available throughout the survey.

The Nimble system enables rapid data harvesting, charging and preparation for redeployment. That keeps nodes cycling through acquisition while trimming handling, logistics and operational bottlenecks, according to STRYDE.

For SUCOFINDO, the economics of the hardware matter as much as the data quality. Mr. Mula Vidya Kusuma, Senior Manager at PT SUCOFINDO, said: "We are excited to introduce STRYDE technology into our seismic operations for an upcoming seismic survey. Its affordability, combined with the small size and low weight of the nodes, will help us reduce crew requirements and field logistics without compromising data quality."

"Together with the high-capacity node management system, we expect this to improve productivity and help us deliver seismic programs more efficiently," Kusuma added.

Why is nodal adoption accelerating in Indonesia?

STRYDE has operated in the country for several years, and its Business Development Manager for Indonesia, Ms. Amie Foster, said that track record — not marketing — is what is pulling new customers in.

"STRYDE technology has been deployed successfully in Indonesia for several years, giving contractors and operators the opportunity to see first-hand how lightweight nodal systems perform in demanding environments," Foster said. "That track record is now driving wider adoption. Companies are seeing that they can acquire the dense seismic datasets they need while reducing equipment, crew and logistics requirements."

She added: "We're delighted to welcome SUCOFINDO to the growing community of STRYDE users in Indonesia and look forward to supporting their team on this deployment."

The case contractors are making, in Foster's framing, is straightforward: dense receiver layouts no longer require the equipment trains, personnel counts and logistics tails that traditionally came with them.

How large is STRYDE's installed base?

The numbers behind the sales pitch are substantial. STRYDE technology has now been deployed on more than 450 seismic surveys across 65 countries, with over 1.3 million nodes delivered between 2020 and 2026.

The company positions itself as making high-density seismic acquisition more operationally and commercially accessible by cutting the equipment, logistics and personnel traditionally associated with increasing receiver density. Its portfolio spans oil and gas, geothermal, carbon capture and storage, mining, civil engineering and scientific research — a spread that reflects how far nodal hardware has moved beyond conventional hydrocarbon exploration.

What happens next?

The watch items are operational. STRYDE's field support geophysicist will support system start-up and train SUCOFINDO's team, with the company expecting a short on-site support period and a transition to independent use, backed by remote assistance through the survey.

The unnamed survey itself is the milestone to track: a successful first campaign with the 12 000-node system would strengthen the case for wider nodal adoption across Indonesia's basins, where access and terrain remain the defining constraints on seismic program design.
