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:

You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
