A modern-day tale of seeking fortune in the world of West Texas oil rigs
Watch the most popular movies and TV shows from writer-director Taylor Sheridan on IMDb, ranked by user ratings. A Landman, at least one who works in oil will act as a middleman between exploration companies and landowners. Typically, a land manager’s job is to negotiate and finalize contracts with landowners with mineral rights to lease those rights to the company they represent. Essentially, they manage the land and secure the leases, so they can drill for oil and gas.
Three episodes only
Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, man-camp housing, set up the drilling machinery, and drill the well itself, especially in remote locations. They are also part repairman, problem-solver, and facilitator. Referenced in CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #44.24 (2022). Billy Bob Thornton is welcomed back to Texas from his Friday Nights in 2006.
Interesting people and stories
The feel is Yellowstone and this is welcome, a series with some reality versus superheroes and fantasy based in the Permian oilfield, great cast so far! We Oilfield guys shake our heads at the inaccuracies of country life and explosions. The technical glitches in the first three episodes are embarrassing and their technical consultant got everything wrong in the explosion scene. old valve stuck, 24 inch pipe wrench (applied backwards and hammered near the top?
Needs torque, didn’t you try any cheater pipe first?
100% wrong. No hammer unless a brass (ie non sparking) hammer? No experienced oil production crew would have done this. A chaotic technical director is seen as a ‘Landman’ and again puts the wrench in backwards and hits his finger?
