About

CrudeTakes was born out of our obsession with the oil and gas industry, it’s peculiarities, it’s inefficiencies, and the lack of transparency in many different aspects in the field. This doesn’t mean it’s all bad as many people have made a lot of money, created immense value, and helped turn America into an energy indepedent country.

We’ve worked at many oil and gas startups, virtually all of them with the SaaS variety and have collectively been early at oil and gas startups that have raised over 25mm in venture capital from top tier funds. We’ve built technology at places like EquityMetrix, RunTitle, MineralSoft, and RegBoard.

We have deep connections across the entire space, know most of the technology startups, and have built a slew of products to solve the needs of hedge funds, land departments, regulatory folks, and more. We are experts in machine learning, have domain expertise in every single land related issue, and have spent more time at the Railroad Commission than we care to admit.

This is our space to share some thoughts and patterns we see with the data we mine and have. Nothing we post here should be construed as financial advice and this is merely our thoughts and opinions and should be treated as such.

If you’d like to get in touch with us - we’re available in varying capacities for consulting, product and software development, data analysis, regulatory consulting, and other ideas that you may have.
