Hello, my name is David Melton, Founder of the Petroleum Landman School, the nation’s premier school dedicated to teaching all aspects of ‘field’ land work. As the first school of our kind – we are dedicated to providing quality education to those who want to become ‘field’ landmen as well as the experienced ‘field’ and ‘in-house’ landmen who would further their education. I felt we needed to have a solid, ‘real life’ applicable experience foundation in creating our many courses. Therefore, I took my 33 years as a practicing landman, past senior manager of land three landman brokerage firms, VP of land and President of two oil companies, as well as being an oil and gas operator in several states and created, what many have said, is the best training of its kind. Petroleum Landman School fills in the gaps and offer courses that are crucial for your success that other schools just can’t provide. 

In addition, we have carefully chosen instructors who are, first and foremost, experienced petroleum landmen. Our current instructors include landmen who have long histories in being either ‘field’ and/or ‘in-house’ landmen and some are practicing landmen who are also practicing oil and gas attorneys. Some are executives and managers of oil and gas companies and/or land brokerage firms. This combined ‘real world’ experience is a rare and wonderful thing when it comes to teaching you the ‘pitfalls you need to avoid’ and what you ‘need to know’ to succeed as a petroleum landman.

Simply put, learning from experienced land professionals, and not just a teacher who has no ‘real life’ experience, is absolutely critical – especially for those just starting out. Anyone can become a ‘field’ landman with the training but with the right training you can become a success. Will you join us in our next class?

Respectfully, David Melton

A Note from David Melton, Founder of Petroleum Landman School, LLC.

Hello. My name is David Melton and I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in the Petroleum Landman School and for visiting our web site.

As a 33 year veteran to the business and as the general manager of a large landman brokerage firm, I saw the need to provide better training for our newcomers to the business as well as provide continuing education for those who had been in the business for a while.

I'm proud to say, the school has been growing in popularity and has earned the respect of other educators and my fellow landmen.

All of our classroom materials are designed to be used in the field as reference guides. It is the goal and the objective of the school not only to educate and train, but give you the confidence you need to start working upon completion of the school and instilling confidence that you can perform at industry standards when called upon.

I love my career as a Petroleum Landman and thoroughly enjoy teaching others the trade. Further, I can honestly say, I've never seen the need for field landmen in such high demand as it is right now.
 
We've worked very hard at creating the school into something that you would feel good about taking and creating a fun learning environment.

I look forward to having you in our next class.

Respectfully,

David Melton

The Success is Real

Many of our students over the years, upon graduation (some of which you can read in the testimonials) have successfully gone to work for oil & gas land companies performing tasks that range from running title to leasing, due diligence, creating run sheets, and held by production. In addition, other students have found jobs working as lease and/or land techs for various oil companies as in-house employees.
