I'm graduating from LSU in May and I'm interested in becoming a landman. I believe I've seen some posters on here that are landmen so I'm hoping they see this.

How did you get started? My gf's dad has been one for a couple of years. I hope he can get me a few leads but if not then I have no idea where to start. Travel 8 hours to go to seminars? I'll try to email a few of the BR AAPL officers to see what that gets me.

Any help would be appreciated.

You need a hookup for field work...most brokers are out of Lafayette...Another option is to get your PLM at a school that offers the program and try to get an in-house job.

If you have inspirations of going in-house one day, one of the following degrees would be helpful: PLM/Energy Management bachelors degree, JD or MBA.

I started working in the field and earned my MBA from LSU. I then began working with a private E&P company as an in-house landman in Houston. I just recently accepted an in-house position with Anadarko Petroleum. I will admit, connections mean everything in this business. I know a ton of field landman that aspire to move in-house but most of them won't get the opportunity.

It would be nice to have long term work in Louisiana.

What is everyone day rate going for if you have around 4 years experience.
