The oilfield is the largest un-instrumented industrial estate in the world.
Crude Intelligence builds American-made autonomous systems that measure it — from ten thousand feet above the lease to ten thousand feet below it.
LEASE ORTHOMOSAIC — SIMULATED, REPRESENTATIVE OUTPUT
MISSION
There are more than a million wells in the United States and a shrinking number of people willing to drive to them.
We think the answer is not more windshield time. It is instrumentation.
We build autonomous systems that go where people can’t go often enough, and to one place people cannot go at all — inside the wellbore.
Wells that are measured produce longer. Wells that are found get plugged. Gas that is detected doesn’t get vented.
Vented gas is unsold product.
FLYOVER/OGI PASS
This is what a leak looks like from the air.
A plume off a stuffing box is invisible to the eye and obvious to a cooled long-wave sensor. Flown on a schedule instead of a complaint, the same pass that maps the pad also prices what is escaping it.
THE FLEET/SEQUENCED HONESTLY
One flying. One in flight test. Two in development.
One pass. Every asset on the pad, georeferenced.
WHY NOW/EXTERNALLY DRIVEN
The domestic measurement market was just created for us.
01
Foreign platforms are closing.
DJI and Autel were added to the FCC Covered List effective December 23, 2025, and Section 232 tariffs imposed August 13, 2026 hit unmanned aircraft — including thermal-imaging payloads. A US-designed, US-assembled thermal platform is structurally advantaged, not just preferable.
02
BVLOS economics are about to unlock.
We fly today under Part 107 waivers. We are building to the Part 108 detect-and-avoid autonomous drone fleet. A ten-hour wing is worth little under visual line of sight.
03
Methane measurement has a federal on-ramp.
EPA runs an Alternative Test Method program for advanced detection under 40 CFR 60.5398b(d), and a competitor already walked through it in October 2025. The pathway exists and is winnable. We build the case on economics, not compulsion.
04
You cannot plug a well you cannot find.
Texas has hundreds of millions in plugging funds, 156,664 shut-in or inactive wells on the March 2026 RRC report, and an estimated 1.2 million undocumented onshore wells nationally. One undocumented well that erupted on a West Texas ranch cost $2.5 million to clean up.
REGULATORY POSTURE: WE CLAIM NO APPROVALS WE DO NOT HOLD.
PLAT/STATUS: FLYING
Every pass files against a well, not a flight.
OUTPUT/ABOVE AND BELOW
The same lease, measured from two directions.
ABOVE THE PAD
Centimeter-scale terrain: pad geometry, berm integrity, and where produced water goes when it rains.
INSIDE THE WELLBORE
Rigless optical inspection of casing condition, collars, and restrictions — the one place nobody can walk.
