Case Study: Rice University achieves high-density geothermal well monitoring with STRYDE

Rice University deploys 700 STRYDE nodes in 3 days for geothermal monitoring

Rice University needed to monitor the stimulation of an enhanced geothermal site in Utah, facing challenges including a difficult permit process, rough terrain, a limited budget, and a tight academic timeline. To conduct this high-density microseismic survey, they partnered with STRYDE and utilized its compact, lightweight seismic nodes.

STRYDE's solution involved deploying 700 of its nodes using a small crew, which was made possible by the equipment's light weight and integrated deployment system. This allowed the team to efficiently place a high number of sensors on foot, meeting all project constraints. The successful deployment provided Rice University with a dense dataset for advanced seismic analysis, with the team praising STRYDE for enabling a survey of this scale that would not have been feasible with traditional equipment.
