About Crude Intelligence Report

Crude Intelligence Report (CIR) is an independent upstream oil and gas intelligence publication covering U.S. exploration and production, basin activity, deal flow, commodity markets, and operator strategy. Our analysis draws on public filings, regulatory data, production records, and industry transactions to deliver research that is accurate, direct, and actionable.

CIR covers the basins, companies, and market dynamics that matter to working professionals in the upstream sector — reservoir engineers, geologists, landmen, asset managers, executives, and investors who need more than a news summary to make informed decisions.

What We Cover

  • Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, Bakken, Appalachia, Haynesville, DJ Basin, and emerging plays
  • Weekly rig count and production data interpretation
  • A&D deal flow and acreage valuation benchmarks
  • Public company earnings analysis and operator strategy
  • Natural gas markets, LNG infrastructure, and commodity pricing dynamics
  • Regulatory and policy developments affecting upstream operations
  • Company deep dives — financials, operations, competitive positioning

Our Approach

Every piece of analysis in CIR is built from primary sources: SEC filings, EIA data, state regulatory databases, and public transaction records. We do not summarize press releases. We examine the underlying data, identify what the numbers actually mean, and deliver conclusions that are useful to professionals operating in the field.

CIR coverage is written for industry professionals, not general audiences. We assume familiarity with upstream operations, reservoir economics, and commodity markets. Our role is to add analytical depth, not to explain the basics.
