Intelligent Core Unveils CORE Flow

On November 24, 2025, Intelligent Core™, an innovative industrial AI company, announced the launch of CORE Flow, a groundbreaking autonomous platform aimed at transforming produced water logistics. This state-of-the-art AI platform integrates seamlessly with existing control systems, enabling operators to predict leaks, optimize routing, and significantly reduce logistics costs in the Permian and Delaware basins.

Founded in early 2024, Intelligent Core has positioned itself at the forefront of industrial AI by marrying predictive analytics with agentic AI capabilities. According to CEO Tom Greenlees, the platform aims to break free from the confines of traditional industry approaches. He states, “Operators don’t need more dashboards; they need actionable predictions and automation that work within the constraints of current produced water management systems.” This vision underscores the focus on enhancing operational efficiency and achieving measurable ROI in a sector currently facing numerous logistical challenges.

Addressing a Growing Challenge

The need for such innovation stems from the industry's escalating volumes of produced water, which have doubled in the last decade. Major operators often spend upwards of $200 million annually managing this vital resource. Unfortunately, many companies resort to conservative practices such as over-trucking and over-treating due to limited real-time visibility. This can lead to increased costs and inefficiencies.

With CORE Flow, Intelligent Core utilizes predictive models to foresee equipment failures, forecast water quality, and identify potential bottlenecks in the water management process. The platform's agentic AI collaborates within defined operator constraints to fine-tune water flows, while also streamlining treatment and disposal strategies. By moving away from manual decision-making relying on spreadsheets and phone calls, CORE Flow aims to modernize and automate critical logistics functions.

Seamless Integration and Unique Offerings

One of the most compelling aspects of CORE Flow lies in its flexibility. The platform can be deployed in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge, allowing operators to tailor their use cases according to immediate operational needs. Initially focusing on routing and treatment decisions, the deployment can expand as the platform demonstrates its value.

Moreover, to address the prevalent issue of poor data quality across the industry, Intelligent Core is developing a proprietary hardware ecosystem. This will enhance the accuracy and reliability of the predictive models by utilizing independent data streams rather than relying solely on existing, sometimes fragmented customer data lakes.

A Collaborative Approach to Adoption

Gilles, the COO, emphasizes the importance of collaboration when implementing new technology. “Operators often depend on intuition and static reports to manage massive water and logistics systems,
