Nope.
Know a guy who is a landman with Yates/EOG though. Sounds like a sweet gig if you like meeting ranchers and country folk, researching shite at the courthouse/library, and negotiating deals. It isn't company man money but it sounds like a well paid gig with comfortable work environment and hours.

Can you read upside down from thirty yards across the clerk's office?

TH03 was one for a while, I think. See if you can get in touch with him.

JudgeHolden pretty much explained it all. I worked as one for 6 years when South Louisiana was the hot spot.

That ship has sailed dude

I have 19 years in it, plan to retire at 43-45 depending on the market. You have to be versatile and stay busy.

Are you asking about being a lease broker / abstractor in the field / courthouse or working as a landman at an E&P company? They are similar yet very different jobs. One requires travel, handshakes, and a sometimes unsteady project load and the other requires a lot of PowerPoint and Excel skills along with an inordinate amount of internal politics savvy. ??

CD, you sure are posting a lot of threads about different kinds of jobs. You still not sure wtf you want to do?

I did about 2-3 years ago. Seemed like a sweet gig and they made good money but all of them were laid off. One of them works offshore now.

My friend is a landman and he works in Colorado. He has been doing it the last 5 years and he is making over $70K a year. He says it is easy once you get the system down. He also runs a side business with a few friends of his. He may work long hours on some days but others might be just for a few. He enjoys it and his biggest time is spent looking at reports but the money is good for him.

I've been a Landman 16 years. I've worked both Contract Field position, and In-House jobs in downtown Houston, and Pittsburgh PA. Probably spend 300 nights a year on the road, but I'm divorced with no kids so it doesn't bother me to travel. I've had years where I made over $200k, and years I haven't made $70k, it's just part of the Oil and Gas Roller Coaster.

Just bite the bullet and get a PETE degree instead

Does a landman have the authority to negotiate compensation for a pipeline easement? Does he simply deliver a proposal and is he required to deliver counter offers back to the company he represents?
I was contacted by SunCoast Land Services from Lafayette.

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.

I am currently in the process of trying to lockdown a landman job. I have JD but zero experience as a landman, analyst, etc. Recently moved to Houston and I am headed out to Midland on Sunday for a 3-4 week temporary landman position. Hoping it will lead to something permanent. I've been using the landman.org career page to find and apply for jobs.
