Landman: A self-employed individual or company employee who secures oil and gas leases, checks legal titles, and attempts to cure title defects so that drilling can begin. Landmen are a crucial, integral, and vital part of the energy industry. Landmen work for oil companies in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Lousiana, Kansas, Arkansas, Virgina, North Carolina, South Carolina, and New York. Several universities have added professional land management as a major.
The Roan Plateau has long been
recognized for its mineral resources.
56,238 acres was originally set
aside as the Naval Oil Shale Reserve
until 1997, when congress
transferred management to BLM's
Glenwood Springs field office.
Colorado could receive over $175 million/yr in royalties and bonus bids from Roan production. By
some estimates, Garfield County would receive as much as $57 million/yr for the next 20 years.
