The SeekOps story began at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where CEO Andrew Aubrey managed programs focused on adapting NASA technology solutions to solve the hard problems of Oil and Gas companies. Aubrey’s solutions focused on applications of robotics and sensing approaches to keep field personnel out of harm’s way.
Together with co-founder Brendan Smith, Aubrey successfully demonstrated the utility of small sensor technology on UAS to critically enhance oilfield health, safety, and environmental needs of the oil and gas sector. The pair left JPL to begin SeekOps Inc. in order to provide commercial solutions based on the core NASA technology the two had developed as a unique solution for leak detection and quantification.
