While we thought it would be more rapid, the full transition from cabled systems into fully #nodal systems seems, finally, upon us.
I remember sitting in meetings with the technical teams from the #Client and #shareholders. Cable-less seismic nodes were just entering the geophysical market on a large scale, and the opinions were mixed. The HSE stats and productivity stats were undeniable; nodes were indeed the future, but the risk of becoming an early adopter forced geophysicists to consider mitigation of a 'dumb system', risk of data loss, low real time visibility, and an acceptance of #CHANGE!
Truthfully, there are still markets today, who have not adopted the acceptance of #seismic #nodal #technology, but they are becoming fewer and fewer. So - for groups like ours, if we don't get on board to adapt our business model to include these trends, we will not be fulfilling our mission of supporting the geophysical industry with creative solutions.
We know it's very difficult to know which direction to go in this nodal market. It seems every month a new option is emerging. From #Sercel's WiNG, #Stryde, #Smartsolo, #Inova Quantum, #Geospace Pioneer, ISeis, not to mention the earlier iterations of Unite, Wireless Seismic RT2, GSR, GSX, Autoseis; the list is almost endless.
Our approach of #supporting #geophysical #companies in this transition is measured and strategic. We rely on strategic partnerships to develop our business, and here is another great example.
As of July 2024, we have an active, available inventory of #seismic #nodes #for #lease in Canada starting with the 2024/ 2025 winter season. We are starting small with 1,500 #Smartsolo 5HZ nodes. But, like most other aspects of our business, if we find strong industry response to this availability, we can quickly pivot and scale to several thousand more.
We are excited about this move - and we hope that it supports further ability for our partners to provide the highest quality service to their customers.
