In this episode of The Real Deal Landman Show, Energy Domain CEO Ben Heinzelman joins the conversation to break down why legacy oil & gas data models are failing modern operators, land teams, and mineral investors—and how a new, more transparent approach is reshaping the market. Drawing from his background as a landman and founder of MineralWare, Ben explains how years of firsthand frustration with opaque pricing, bloated contracts, and overbuilt tools directly informed the way Energy Domain was designed from day one.
The discussion dives into Energy Domain’s flexible, map-based data platform, including basin- and county-level subscriptions, daily rig tracking using contractor feeds and satellite imagery, AI-processed directional surveys, and allocated production data built for real-world decision-making. Ben also touches on how user-controlled subscriptions, rapid feature iteration, and modern cloud infrastructure allow Energy Domain to deliver enterprise-grade intelligence at a fraction of the cost of legacy providers—without sacrificing data quality. The episode offers a candid look at where oil & gas data is headed and why control, transparency, and speed now matter more than ever.
