“ For CCUS projects to be successful , operators need a deep understanding of a site ’ s underlying geology ”
MIKE POPHAM CEO , STRYDE acquisition system for Projeo Corporation on another CCUS project in Gibson City , Illinois , U . S ., as part of the Illinois State Geological Survey ’ s CarbonSAFE Illinois Storage Corridor project .
Over 20,000 STRYDE Nodes are being deployed by seismic technology company Explor , coupled with around 8,000 vibroseis source points acquired using the ISSN methodology developed and trademarked by bp . This ensures that high-density seismic is delivered at a significantly reduced price point for this geological subsurface imaging project .
This new 3D project , which covers about 8 sq / miles , will deliver a trace density of 20 million traces per sq / mile and follows a series of successful high-density 2D lines , acquired by Projeo in the same area during 2021 using the STRYDE Nodal system .
CCUS is set to play a vital role in the energy transition , permanently locking away carbon produced from energy and industries that can ’ t avoid emissions .
Mike Popham , CEO at STRYDE , believes CCUS is a crucial component of the world ’ s shift to a lower-carbon framework .
“ For CCUS projects to be successful , operators need a deep understanding of a site ’ s underlying geology , and then subsequently , post-injection , they require low-cost , effective repeat monitoring to confirm that injected CO2 is remaining safely in the subsurface .”
