GHOST PRV
The tripod-mounted instrument used in the reported depth comparisons. A production version requires environmental qualification, repeatable manufacturing and defined service support.
Every material underground responds to energy in its own way. That response has always been there, lost in the noise. GHOST measures it from the surface, and AI explains it: what is there, how deep, and how sure we are.
Where should the next well go? Which prospect deserves further work? What evidence justifies the capital? truelevel brings a material-referenced assessment into these decisions, alongside geology, conventional geophysics and drilling. Our aim is to narrow uncertainty early enough to change the exploration plan.
Before we go to the field, we test a real sample of the target, whether crude oil, groundwater or copper, in the lab. The instrument leaves with a fingerprint to look for.
On site, GHOST takes optical, electrical, magnetic and resonance readings in a single pass, from the surface down through depth.
Our AI checks every reading against the fingerprint, the local geology and the survey layout. It keeps only what the data supports, and says so when the data cannot decide.
Reports identify target assessments, depth estimates and uncertainty, with interval boundaries and extent where supported. In blind evaluations, predictions are locked before reference data is disclosed.

Two producing wells. The operator kept its well data to itself. GHOST placed 17 of 18 depth points within 10 m without seeing any of it.
Across the two wells, 17 of 18 scored positive depth calls met the operator's tolerance. Reference data was withheld from the survey team.

Exploration usually starts by clearing the land. Conventional seismic cuts straight corridors through forest, then runs heavy vibrator trucks or explosive charges along them. In cold northern forests, those lines can take up to 70 years to grow back. And roughly two in three wildcat wells still find nothing commercial.

GHOST is our survey platform, built on a method called Photo-Electric Resonance Vibrometry (PRV). At every point and every depth, a survey asks one question.
“Is the material we are looking for actually here, at this depth, given everything we measured?”
/ The field question


We start in the lab with a physical sample of the target. We record how it behaves under controlled conditions, so we know its signature before we go looking for it.

In the field, GHOST reads a single surface point all the way down, accounting for local conditions.

The observations are assessed against the reference, local geology and survey geometry. AI assists the analysis and technical review; designated technical leadership approves issued results.

The data points to the target, within its stated uncertainty.
The observations do not support the target within the survey's stated sensitivity and scope. This does not establish absence beyond those limits.
The data cannot tell either way.
We never fold these into a simple yes or no. An inconclusive result is never counted as a correct negative.
Pick any point on the ground. GHOST reads it through depth, compares the readings with the target’s signature, and returns one of three answers. A target is hidden somewhere below.
Illustrative simulation. It does not use field data or demonstrate instrument performance, detection probability or spatial resolution.
Knowing the target narrows the question. It does not make every matching signal unique.
A supported target assessment does not establish recoverable volume, productivity, ore grade or commercial viability. Those require additional evidence.
Depth accuracy, telling materials apart, and spatial detail are three separate abilities. We test each one on its own.
Our calibration methods, instrument design and AI models are trade secrets, and we do not publish them. Instead we prove performance the way any measurement should be proven: our predictions are locked first, then compared with reference data held by the operator.
Conventional seismic clears corridors through forest to answer the question below it. GHOST answers it from the sky, without touching the ground.

The reported blind depth record comes from one hand-built GHOST instrument. Our roadmap proposes a production sensor core and platforms for stationary, walking, vehicle, autonomous, airborne and marine acquisition. Each platform must demonstrate performance in its intended operating conditions.

One measurement engine, tuned to each material. Each division answers the one question that decides whether to drill, pump or mine.
Assess hydrocarbon targets and estimate depth before committing to the next well. Integrate GHOST findings with seismic, geology and reservoir analysis to prioritize follow-up. The current scored record addresses hydrocarbon depth agreement.
Assess potential water-bearing formations and prioritize borehole locations. Interpret depth and extent where supported; confirm water chemistry, yield and suitability through drilling, sampling and testing.
Assess calibrated mineral targets and focus geological follow-up and drilling. Current applications include copper sulfide systems and lithium brines, with other material classes under reference development. Mineral performance requires its own validation.
Hydrocarbon depth comparisons form the current scored evidence record. Mineral and groundwater programs apply the same assessment framework, but the hydrocarbon result does not establish their performance. Each additional target class requires reference characterization and qualification under relevant field conditions.

Explore research and validationThree hydrocarbon wells across two countries provide the current scored depth record. One study recorded predictions before drilling. Two assessed producing wells while their reference data was withheld from the survey team. Here are the results, the protocol and the limits of what they establish.
Scored positive depth calls within 10 m of reference depths
Point-level depth concordance in the scored set
From Well Z prediction lock to wireline acquisition
Response clusters within tolerance after grouping adjacent points

The operator selected the evaluation locations and retained the reference data. In Well Z, the survey preceded drilling; in Wells A and B, the wells were already producing.
GHOST predictions were recorded and locked before reference disclosure to the survey team.
The predictions were compared with operator-supplied wireline reference depths under the defined 10 m tolerance. Well Z also used petrophysical interpretation completed independently before the GHOST outputs were disclosed.
The case studies report comparable-set rules, point-level results and limitations. Repeat QC readings are excluded; adjacent depth calls are also summarized as response clusters.
Well Z predictions were locked 67 days before wireline acquisition. All three comparable interval tops agreed with the reference at the reported depth resolution. The post-drill interpretation was completed independently before the interpreter later joined truelevel.
Reference-blind comparisons at producing wells. Seventeen of eighteen scored positive depth calls fell within 10 m of the operator's reference. One call differed by 11 m.
Regional reconnaissance and pre-drill assessment in Belize, including geological and reservoir interpretation for regulatory reporting. Exploration-stage interpretations are separate from the scored well comparisons.

The pooled result describes depth agreement at 21 scored positive calls across three wells. It does not measure detection coverage, sensitivity or false positive rates. The scored set includes no negative locations or confounder tests. Mineral and groundwater performance cannot be inferred from it.
Several points are adjacent within continuous responses. Grouped into response clusters, the result is 11 of 12 within tolerance. The point-level Wilson interval does not account for that dependence and should not be read as a general performance guarantee. The single point-level failure had an 11 m error, one meter beyond tolerance.
Well Z was a pre-drill study; Wells A and B were reference-blind comparisons at producing wells. Well Z's independent interpreter subsequently joined truelevel. These are company-authored case studies using external reference data; larger studies across additional settings are needed to establish general performance.

Our next work expands the hydrocarbon record and tests additional materials, settings and acquisition modes. Each program needs its own reference, endpoints and independent ground truth. Performance claims follow the evidence generated by that program.
Every unit is built, wired and tuned by hand before it reaches the field.
Instrument development focuses on sensor integration, calibration stability, environmental resilience and repeatable manufacture. Bench testing and field verification provide the evidence required to move from a prototype toward qualified production hardware.

The same measurement that finds oil can watch the ground around a sensitive site. We are developing GHOST for perimeter and subsurface security at airports, seaports, borders and critical infrastructure: tunnels and voids, buried objects, and any change beneath the surface since the last pass.
Detection rates, location accuracy and false alarm rates must be established under site-specific test conditions before operational claims are made.
Perimeter fence lines, runways, taxiways and fuel farms. Tunnels or buried objects beneath the fence, and voids under pavement before they fail.
Quay walls, container yards, gates and pier foundations. Voids and scour behind quay walls, and buried or concealed items in yard areas.
Cross-border tunnels and buried caches along long, remote lines, surveyed by vehicle or from the air instead of fixed sensor grids.
Power plants, substations, refineries, pipelines and water plants. Excavation, tampering or leaks along buried lines, and ground change near critical assets.
Embassies, bases and secure facilities. A baseline survey at handover, then repeat passes to flag new excavation, tunneling or buried items.
Large fenced sites with buried power and fiber. Unrecorded voids, buried hazards and change along the perimeter.
Targets under study
Survey the full perimeter and inner zones once, to record what is normal beneath the ground.
Repeat passes at the same points, from a fixed station, a patrol vehicle or the air, on a schedule set by the site.
The AI compares each pass with the baseline and flags only the changes the data supports, with location and confidence.
A named analyst reviews every flag, and the site's security team decides the response. GHOST informs. People decide.
A useful test begins with the material, location and uncertainty the decision requires. The protocol must distinguish a supported assessment from an unresolved response.
Monitoring applications require a stable baseline and evidence that observed changes can be separated from environmental and measurement variation.
Research into the assessment of non-transmitting objects and their material characteristics. No validated performance record or operational capability is claimed.
Laboratory investigation of additional material classes and measurement applications. No clinical or diagnostic use, and no validated application performance is claimed.
Security work follows the same rule as our oil record. Results are locked before the answer is known, and you score them.
