Matt Toohey, a landman for Forge Energy III, highlights the role of landmen as intermediaries in the oil and gas sector. Landmen are responsible for securing contracts for drilling, managing land leases, and negotiating land rights. Toohey points out that despite the dramatic portrayal of landmen in the series 'Landman', it does contain some accurate depictions of their work. He emphasizes that while aspects like cartel involvement may be exaggerated, they reflect certain realities of the industry. The daily work of landmen varies, often involving tasks from title research to walking pipeline routes.
Landmen are essentially middlemen for the oil and gas industry, in charge of acquiring contracts that allow oil and gas companies to drill wells.
After nearly two decades in the industry, I can see pretty clearly where the series shines and where it's totally inaccurate.
The scenes with the cartels aren't realistic, but highlight a real aspect of the work that landmen do.
Simply put, landmen are the ones who negotiate land rights and get deals done, often dealing with thousands of acres.
