About Cold Bore Technology

Our Story

2012
A Bold Beginning

Cold Bore Technology was founded with a clear mission: transform the way data is created, collected, and delivered - accurately, and in real time. From the start, we set out to challenge outdated workflows and solve the critical gaps holding the industry back.

2016
Unlocking Data at Scale

With the launch of our IntelliSONIC product, we generated massive volumes of data. But there was a problem: no simple way for users to consume or integrate it into their existing infrastructure. That challenge set the stage for our next breakthrough.

2018
The SmartPAD Release

We introduced the SmartPAD, a first-of-its-kind solution that unified the complex web of services and data on a completion site into a single, agnostic platform. For the first time, operators could access, integrate, and act on their data seamlessly.

2025
Where We Are Today

What began as a small, determined team has grown into a company partnering with leading operators across North America - and now expanding globally.

Evolving With the Industry

We continue to enhance the platform with new features and integrations, helping drive the digital transformation of the completions process.

Our Commitment

At every stage, our purpose remains the same: enable the industry to make better, faster, safer decisions with data.

Our Values

Since day one, we have been guided by five key principles that frame our approach to work, the way we engage with our clients and partners, and how we plan for the future.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to deliver innovative digital solutions that provide instant and accurate energy data, driving transparency, efficiency, and safety.
