Good to know. I take your meaning.
I have met with a few attorneys that represented pipeline companies but only two land men(agents). One could not tell me why his client was a common carrier but suggested his client had the power of expropriation. His focus was on obtaining a signature. The second landman was a retired LSU English professor. This guy worked a few months a year and provided me a great deal of help with non-related title searches. I recall that he was more professional than the attorneys that I have spoken with.
I have an appointment with a landman next week to discuss a pipeline ROW proposal. Several months ago I was able to grant an access and survey proposal to his client. One of my questions will be to ask if he is a "final authority."
Anything else that I should know at this time?

Got a couple of friends who are landmen 2 got laid off in 2015/16 when the market went to shite, one had to drive uber for a bit. Both found new jobs now that things have picked up in some spots. But if you are looking to stay in Louisiana I don't think there is much work going on here. State got rid of a few tax breaks and with all the legacy suits in this state along with the low price creates a trifecta of reasons why not to invest in Louisiana.

Don't do it. I was a landman in Pecos TX for a year. Its hell on earth.
I have friend who are still doing it and they bitch about their job non stop. And the experience doesn't provide experience that is transferrable to other industries.

I have a friend who is a landman. He worked in San Antonio for a while, but now I think he either works from home or out of an office in Lafayette.
It seems like an alright job.

Running title is a drag.

This is a load of malarkey, except that low prices prevent new exploration. I’ve never heard of a company or oilman say they avoid Louisiana due to litigation fears or taxes. Think about the other petroleum producing states: Texas juries are far more plaintiff-friendly. Oklahoma is spending a ton of money investigating the relationship between fracking and earthquakes. Colorado? California? Not exactly bastions of letting business run amok.

How much time you got..... Seriously though, every project is different. FERC vs Texas vs gathering vs Power line vs Railroad and the list goes on.

I'm a Texan, I would consider working in Louisiana but definitely fine with working elsewhere.

Was it your first job out of college? What did you not like about it?
Posted on 10/12/17 at 4:13 pm to White Bear
So is working any other job but it is definitely one of the least bad and it pays well.

What happened?
Posted on 10/12/17 at 4:19 pm to Collegedropout
Couldn’t find steady work in Texas during the downturn. Moved back to NOLA a few weeks ago
