The seismic survey crew of S3

 STRYDE has secured a contract to supply 42,000 autonomous seismic nodes to Smart Seismic Solutions (S3) for their groundbreaking CarbonCuts CO2 Storage Project in Denmark.

The CarbonCuts Project is a high-profile initiative aimed at identifying optimal onshore subsurface storage solutions for CO2 sequestration. With geological CO? storage now a globally recognised, proven, and safe technology to tackle the climate crisis, and CO? storage on land being significantly more affordable than offshore options, onshore CO? storage is becoming increasingly accessible for a wider range of emitters to manage their emissions responsibly.

S3, a leading geophysical service provider, is at the forefront of this initiative, spearheading the acquisition of a high-density seismic dataset using STRYDE’s innovative nodal seismic acquisition system.

“The CarbonCuts Project is a cornerstone in Denmark’s journey toward a greener future, and we are proud to contribute. The Rødby structure, an elongated anticlinal dome with a four-way closure that formed during the Mesozoic Era over a Zechstein salt pillow, is a fascinating target for this high-density seismic survey,” said Patrick Roberts, CEO at S3.

“STRYDE’s cutting-edge technology is pivotal to delivering superior seismic image quality. The dense deployment of STRYDE nodes provides exceptional clarity of the subsurface, enabling stakeholders to identify geological structures suitable for carbon storage with greater precision. This significantly reduces risks and enhances the reliability of long-term CO? sequestration solutions.”

The seismic survey will be crucial in advancing Denmark’s ambitious goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2045, utilising advanced seismic technology to map geological formations with unprecedented accuracy, ultimately helping to ensure safe and effective onshore CO2 storage.

Mike Popham, CEO of STRYDE, commented: “This collaboration highlights how our unique seismic system is revolutionising the industry, enabling the rapid and safe acquisition of the seismic data needed to empower organisations to make more informed decisions, driving meaningful climate action.

“Our solution significantly lowers the barriers for onshore carbon storage initiatives, and we are proud to help S3 deliver seismic data needed for this important project. Together, these organisations are paving the way for more sustainable energy practices and helping to secure a cleaner, greener future.”
