DTEK Oil&Gas acquired and applied a unique wireless system for seismic exploration

DTEK Oil&Gas has acquired and applied a wireless system for seismic exploration which is unique for Ukraine. The Stryde system is the world's most compact nodal wireless seismic data acquisition system. Unlike classic cable systems, the Stryde system makes it possible to significantly reduce deployment time and eliminate a significant number of heavy transports. It allows to increase the depth of area exploration, the accuracy of forecasting geological and geophysical properties of rocks and the reliability of the results of geological exploration in general.

The Stryde system has 30 thousand nodes and allows to work in different environment (including wetland). This is the only system in Ukraine having such characteristics. The company's specialists passed an additional training in Norway and have already started using the system at one of the fields in Poltava region. Stryde allowed for a 2.5-fold reduction in the number of deployment personnel and the exclusion of heavy-duty trucks.

"We see further prospectives for gas production development in complex deposits at great depths. Earlier, we experienced shortage of modern and accurate equipment to explore such deposits. Nevertheless, equipment and methods of geological exploration go forward. DTEK Oil&Gas continues to invest in the most modern technologies for the development of the industry. The Stryde system will allow us to study the subsurface much more efficiently and accurately to maintain and develop Ukrainian oil and gas production," the company's geologists note.
