How to become a Landman?

Traesey:

I would have to agree with RW’s comments but if you’re willing to reside in harsh winter conditions, there should be opportunities in the Williston Basin area. If you elect to hire onto an existing broker, there are plenty of those in the North Dakota area. Also, the Eagle Ford Shale play in South Texas is currently a “hot” play with numerous landman opportunities. Sounds like you have a good foundation for this line of work and you just need some hands-on experience but be sure and get a good reputable company to do work for as some fall in the undesirable category.
