PT Elnusa Tbk (Elnusa), Indonesia based integrated energy services company, is reinforcing its technological edge by investing in next-generation nodal seismic systems to accelerate onshore exploration across the country.

Early 2026 operations in Eastern Indonesia highlight Elnusa’s commitment to enhancing national energy resilience through advanced seismic survey programs.

Indonesia’s complex subsurface – including Pre-Tertiary basement reservoirs, fractured formations, and deep hydrocarbon targets – demands high-quality seismic imaging to reduce uncertainty and improve exploration success.

Facing challenges such as remote locations, operational efficiency pressures, and dynamic markets, Elnusa prioritises technologies that deliver faster execution, cost efficiency, and superior data quality.

The company has acquired 25,000 STRYDE Range+ nodes, along with the STRYDE Nimble and Mini acquisition systems, establishing a versatile dual-platform capability.

The Nimble System, capable of handling up to 3,240 nodes per day, maximises operational efficiency through bulk workflows, high-volume charging, and rapid data harvesting, shortening survey cycles and enabling multi-phase, high-density exploration programs.

Complementing large-scale operations, the compact STRYDE Mini System supports early-stage field trials, small surveys, and agile deployment across diverse terrains, requiring minimal crew.

This investment follows successful previous campaigns using leased STRYDE systems, which demonstrated the ability to acquire high-density, high-resolution seismic data in challenging geological and operational environments.

By embedding advanced technology at the core of its exploration strategy, Elnusa strengthens its ability to deliver reliable subsurface insights, accelerate project timelines, and drive sustainable growth in Indonesia’s energy sector.

Rustam Aji, Corporate Secretary of Elnusa, stated:“Elnusa has strong commitment to rediscovering our technology and innovation edge as a key driver of sustainable growth. By adopting next-generation nodal seismic technology, we are strengthening our core competencies in energy services while enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and speed in onshore exploration. More importantly, this initiative underlines Elnusa’s role in actively supporting Indonesia’s energy resilience, by accelerating survey activities in Eastern Indonesia from the very beginning of the year.”

Amie Foster, Business Development Manager at STRYDE, said:“We are proud to deepen our long-standing partnership with Elnusa. Their decision to invest in two STRYDE systems and a large channel count after a handful of projects is a strong validation of the value we deliver - providing high-density seismic data that reduces exploration uncertainty, enhances reservoir understanding, and ultimately improves success rates for operators across Indonesia.” -TradeArabia News Service
