Independent Landman Work Values

Daily Duties at Independent Landman:

Provided skills and expertise needed by Browning Oil Company, such as preparing and drafting all agreements needed from all Working Interest Owners (“WIO”), surface and/or mineral owners and any third party which was not a WIO in a prospect area so that Browning and its partners could drill a well (or multiple wells). I circulated those documents to the WIO’s and then monitored the progress of obtaining the execution of all agreements and advised Browning management when the process was completed to an acceptable level so that all field and drilling personnel could be released to obtain necessary state or federal permits, contract a drilling rig, conduct necessary surface operations (i.e. building a surface location for the well, drilling a water well if necessary, digging pits for water and drilling mud, building access roads and installing gates on fence lines that needed to be crossed, etc.). Prior to getting all documents executed, I was responsible for organizing, monitoring and supervising Field Landmen in the acquisition of oil and gas leases or obtaining third party agreements (i.e. surface use, easements, right-of-ways, Farmin agreements, etc.) in the area(s) designated by Browning as being prospective and which was authorized for expenditures. I authorized, approved and monitored, on a daily basis, all Broker efforts, costs/expenses and lease bonus payments, reported to management on a regular basis and provided future expense projections for budget management and control.

What they like about Independent Landman:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
