Built by landmen. Priced for the independent.
OGLandman builds software for the people doing the real work of oil & gas acquisition.
Landmen, mineral buyers, and acquisition teams who are tired of running their business out of spreadsheets and generic CRMs. We're building the platform we wished existed when we were in the field — and we're just getting started.
Born in the Permian Basin.
OGLandman started with a simple frustration: the oil & gas industry runs on spreadsheets, phone calls, and institutional knowledge that lives in people's heads. Every landman has the same story — dozens of Excel tabs, three different CRMs, and a stack of PSAs copy-pasted from Word templates.
We're landmen who got tired of it. So we built the platform we wished existed — Scout for acquisitions, a free TRRC permit tracker for the whole industry, and the most comprehensive oil & gas M&A directory you can find anywhere.
We're based in the Permian Basin, and we build for the people who know this land.
Three things we won't compromise on.
Built by Landmen
Owner databases, NMA/NRI math, PSA templates, call queues — every feature in Scout came from a problem we ran into in the field. No SaaS engineer guessed at the workflow; landmen specified it.
Rooted in the Permian
Headquartered in Midland. The tools are shaped by the counties our founder actually worked — Martin, Reeves, Loving, Howard — and tuned for the basins landmen across Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and North Dakota operate in daily.
Density over decoration
No bloated enterprise software. No 20-step onboarding. No Salesforce-style configuration hell. Tabular data, tight screens, and a command palette — tools built for operators who read numbers for a living.
How we got here.
The Spreadsheet Problem
After years of managing mineral acquisitions in Excel, the founder decided the tools for landmen were long overdue for a rebuild. First sketches of Scout start showing up on a whiteboard.
Scout, Version 1
First private beta of Scout — an acquisition CRM built from day one for mineral buyers. Early users give feedback that reshapes the owner database, deal pipeline, and PSA templates.
Permit Tracker Launches
Free TRRC permit tracker released as a contribution back to the industry. Updated daily, free with email. The first step in making Scout the go-to platform for mineral buyers.
OGLandman Platform
Scout, the Permit Tracker, and the 3,300-entry M&A Directory unified under the OGLandman platform. Data import engine added — landmen can now bring their entire spreadsheet history in minutes.
