About LeaseSight

An oilfield monitoring company founded in the Illinois Basin

LeaseSight was started by the owner of a local service company he founded in 2012 — buying and operating oil wells ever since — and an operations supervisor who's managed wells across the basin just as long. We've both been into tech and computers our whole careers — and both saw the same opportunity: bring the oilfield up to speed with remote monitoring that changes the game.

We sell the sensors, answer the phone ourselves, and stand behind every install — whether you install it yourself in minutes or have us do it. And we're always here to help — a quick question, a hiccup in the field, or a lease you're thinking about putting sensors on — whichever basin you operate in.

The story

We couldn't buy it, so we built it

LeaseSight started with a simple frustration: a tank doesn't wait for the next route. Between one gauging and the next, a water tank can creep toward the top, a line can get a leak, and the pressure can climb on a well. Caught quickly, it's an easy fix. Found days later, it's a mess.

We've both been tech people as long as we've been oilfield people, so we built LeaseSight together: LTE tank level, pressure, and flow sensors that report every hour — and put an alert in your pocket the moment something crosses a line. Every sensor hooks up and is monitoring within a few minutes — no technician, no wiring, two standard AA batteries — and everything lands in the same app, right next to your hand-gauged measurements, run tickets, pressure readings, and flow meter readings.

And when a threshold is crossed, the alert carries the trend, not just the number: “12 in from top (was 16 an hour ago).” An alert within the hour — not a discovery on the next route.

Founders

An owner and a supervisor

Two founders, both oil & gas — and both of us built the app. One owns and operates wells; the other runs operations and drives down operating costs across the basin.

Nevan Leu

Founder · Coding & Technology

Nevan's been in the oilfield since 2012 — the year he founded Inner Earth Technologies (downhole camera services) with his dad and bought his first stake in an oil well. He still runs Inner Earth today and operates a growing list of wells of his own. He and Dustin built LeaseSight together, and his lane is the product and the code — the app, the alerting, and the site you're reading. If a screen confuses a pumper, it goes back on the bench.

Dustin Nelson

Founder · Field Operations & Technology

Dustin has spent fifteen years running wells in the Illinois Basin — hand-gauging tanks before daylight, running long routes in every kind of weather, and mastering the number that decides whether a marginal well pays: the LOE. Now an operations supervisor, he optimizes production and operating costs across whole fields — he knows what a pumper needs to see first thing in the morning, what turns into a spill or a safety call the moment it's missed, and where every dollar of lifting cost goes. He built LeaseSight side by side with Nevan: every reading, threshold, and alert in the app carries his operating instinct — it watches a lease the way he would.

What we believe

Four things we won't compromise

Simple beats flashy

If the app looks cluttered, we failed. Every screen earns its place by being readable in the truck before sunup — no menus you have to be trained on.

We run our own wells on it

LeaseSight watches our own leases first. We're customer zero — if a screen or an alert wouldn't earn its keep on our wells, it doesn't ship on yours.

Alerts should matter

When your phone goes off, it should be worth stopping for. Thresholds you set, readings with the trend attached, and no noise — because if everything's an alert, nothing is.

A person picks up

Call or text and you get someone who knows the oilfield — not a ticket queue. Whichever basin you operate in, support comes with the system, not as an add-on.
