Crude Intelligence Wants to Instrument the Un-instrumented Oilfield
Crude Intelligence presents autonomous aerial and downhole systems for continuously measuring oil and gas leases.
Field notes
The site organizes its offering around three hardware programs rather than a general consulting service: a fixed-wing VTOL called Vaquero, a carrier-and-pod system called Remuda plus Pointer, and the 90 mm Sounder downhole vehicle. Its visual evidence includes orthomosaics, thermal frames, point clouds, and LiDAR terrain views, but these are marked simulated or representative. Development status is unusually explicit: Vaquero is in flight test, while the other two systems are listed as in development.
