Tale
A modern-day story of fortune-seeking in the world of West Texas oil rigs
See the most popular movies and TV series by writer/director Taylor Sheridan on IMDb, ranked by user rating.. A landman, at least one who works in the oil industry, will act as a middleman between exploration companies and landowners. Typically, a landman’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 that they can drill for oil and gas.

Similar to a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, worker housing (a human camp), oversee the assembly of excavation machinery, and the drilling of the well site itself, especially in remote locations. They are also part of the fixer, problem solver, and facilitator.. Featured on CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #44.24 (2022). Billy Bob Thornton is welcome back to Texas from his Friday nights in 2006.
superheroes and fantasy
The feel is Yellowstone and it’s a welcome one, a series with a bit of reality vs. Based in the Permian Basin Oilfield, great casting so far! Interesting people and storylines…We Oilfield guys are shaking our heads at the inaccuracies of field life and explosions/blasts. The technical errors in the first three episodes are embarrassing and your technical consultant messed up everything in the Blowout scene.
Need torque, no cheat pipe?
A stuck old valve, the 24 inch pipe wrench (applied upside down, stuck near the top? 100% wrong. No hammer, except a brass hammer (i.e. no sparks)?
I’m staying for the story!
No experienced downstream crew would ever do that. trying to shut off a blowout (I have never seen Landman on site and again put the wrench upside down and hit his). Heh-ho, Hollywood. PS ex Oilfield and commenting on many of my ex Oilfield’s reactions.
