STRYDE, known for creating the world’s smallest seismic sensors, has partnered with Australian seismic surveying firm Oceania Geo to launch a groundbreaking solution called Pad3D.

This collaboration aims to map the subsurface to optimise the production of existing oil and gas facilities quickly and efficiently.

Pad3D addresses challenges such as obtaining permits from landowners, deploying equipment in areas with existing infrastructure, and minimising land disruption.

This innovative solution delivers rapid drill-ready subsurface images for time-critical drilling decisions, revolutionising the way oil and gas production is optimised.

Pad3D’s key features include the use of STRYDE’s miniature, affordable seismic nodes for high-density seismic data acquisition, enabling high-resolution imaging of challenging shale and sand layers in complex geology.

This data allows for faster data processing and accurate interpretation, leading to informed decisions being made faster.

One of the remarkable aspects of Pad3D is its cost-effectiveness.

It can de-risk a three to five square kilometre multi-well pad development project for around $100,000 to $250,000, compared to more than $2 million per horizontal well.

This makes Pad3D a highly valuable solution for oil and gas companies looking to optimise production efficiently and economically.

A case study included in the article showcases how Oceania Geo used STRYDE’s nodes to help Gailee Energy, a Brisbane-based oil and gas exploration company, create a high-resolution image of the subsurface in the most efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly way possible for production optimisation.

Pad3D leverages STRYDE’s innovative seismic technology to provide rapid, high-quality subsurface data that can significantly accelerate and de-risk oil and gas production optimisation projects.
