Despite the fact that the position of landman is considered entry level, it can be hard, detailed work and requires some knowledge and expertise of the oil or gas industry. Before an oil or gas company can begin drilling or mining, it must first gain the rights to do so through the use of purchase or lease agreements. The landman is the man or woman who does the research to verify who holds the title and the mineral rights to a specific parcel of land. Once he or she knows who owns the land, the landman (the title remains the same whether the person holding it is a man or woman) then must negotiate acquiring the rights to drill or mine on it. This can include sometimes tense negotiations with the property owner, and drafting the appropriate paperwork and obtaining the signatures.<\/p>\n
