US-based technology company Energy Domain has expanded its portfolio by acquiring the ClerkRecords.com domain and its proprietary AI-driven courthouse records platform.
The acquisition brings new capabilities to Energy Domain's offerings and includes the onboarding of Clerk Records founder and CEO Jason Smith in an advisory role.
Energy Domain chief operating officer Malcolm Smith said: “This is about delivering what the market has been missing.
“Land professionals, title researchers and energy data teams have been stuck piecing together information from fragmented sources or paying enterprise-level prices for inflexible plans. Energy Domain is changing that. We are providing a single, powerful tool with transparent pricing, built for how research actually gets done."
With the integration of Clerk Records' technology, which was launched earlier this year, Energy Domain is set to offer two distinct access points: Energy Domain Courthouse and an expanded ClerkRecords.com platform.
Energy Domain Courthouse will be incorporated into the Energy Domain Data tool, while the stand-alone ClerkRecords.com platform will offer a broader scope of services.
Energy Domain Data is known for its proprietary rig tracking and production datasets, offered through a map-based platform with flexible and transparent pricing.
The addition of courthouse documents and mineral appraisal rolls from Clerk Records will enhance the platform's depth, providing enterprise-grade intelligence in an efficient and affordable format.
Energy Domain CEO Ben Heinzelmann said: “We are preparing to launch Energy Domain Courthouse as a fully integrated companion to Energy Domain Data, while also expanding ClerkRecords.com for users in real estate, legal, or surveying who prefer a stand-alone option.
“And we are not stopping there. We are currently indexing records from Texas, but we are looking to expand into New Mexico and Louisiana next. We are also developing tools that support common language search. That has always been a challenge in this space because of the inconsistent formats of courthouse documents across counties.
“But with structured AI extraction, we can finally build tools that reflect how people work – intuitive, complete and available to everyone.”
