re: Working as a landman

You could probably find an “in” through land administration but just know it’s mostly a job centered around data and records management.

Techs are your grunts. Not fun work. But not a bad start If you have no experience.

If you like field landman work, I’d stay away from division order analyst work. Decimals, production, suspense, royalty relations...it can suck majorly.

Lease analyst work isn’t bad but you’ll be expected to know how to interpret documents and oversee the files & data system records & payments surrounding those leases & contracts.

My best advice is join the national association. (AAPL or NALTA). And take some kind of class or certification program towards whatever you decide.
