In a ground-breaking move for the Egyptian oil and gas sector, leading exploration services company ARGAS has purchased 30,000 Range+ STRYDE nodes and STRYDE’s Nimble Seismic System, marking the first-ever deployment of nodal technology for onshore seismic acquisition in Egypt.
This landmark sale signifies ARGAS’s transition to cutting-edge nodal systems, after previous successfully trialling of STRYDE’s solution.
The first deployment of the newly acquired STRYDE system will be on a very large 2D seismic survey in Egypt. The technology will be used to acquire high-quality seismic data across highly prospective sedimentary basins, supporting oil and gas exploration efforts in one of Egypt’s most promising frontier regions.
Impressed by its cost-efficiency and operational agility, ARGAS made the strategic decision to integrate STRYDE’s technology into its operations, becoming, once again, a regional pioneer in the use of nodal systems for onshore seismic exploration.
STRYDE’s technology offers true scalability for large-scale seismic acquisition. Its ultra-lightweight Range+ nodes, coupled with a state-of-the-art, high-capacity charging, harvesting, and QC ecosystem, enable thousands of nodes to be rotated daily.
This ensures faster acquisition cycles and rapid delivery of high-quality seismic data, giving ARGAS a competitive edge in Egypt’s rapidly evolving energy sector.
'After working with STRYDE’s system on previous projects, it became clear that this technology brings a significant advantage to both us and our clients,' said Soufiane Azzi, Director of Commercials and Collaborations of ARGAS.
'The system has proven to drastically reduce deployment time, reduce headcount and vehicles count, simplifies logistics, improve recording time window, and delivers excellent seismic data. We are proud to be the first to bring node technology to Egypt. This is a major milestone, not only for STRYDE and ARGAS, but for Egypt’s energy sector as a whole,' said Mehdi Tascher, Sales Director at STRYDE.
'ARGAS’s purchase is spot on, and reflects the growing demand for scalable and efficient seismic acquisition systems that enable high-density data capture for superior subsurface imaging, empowering more confident and informed exploration decisions. This sale underscores the global trust in STRYDE’s technology and its proven ability to transform seismic operations through operational excellence and data quality.'
The integration of STRYDE’s unique seismic system into Egypt’s oil and gas landscape marks a pivotal advancement in the region’s energy exploration capabilities.
This technology will enable faster, safer, and more cost-effective exploration, ultimately helping to accelerate development of the country's natural resources.
