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.

- A&D deal flow and acreage valuation benchmarks

- 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.
