Petroleum Landman School, LLC
The demand for field petroleum landmen
and field landman training has never been greater due to new opportunities in the oil industry as well as emerging alternative energy such as wind energy.
Due to emerging alternative energy sources such as wind energy the winter classes and next years classes will include leasing and title for wind farms and pipeline right-of-way for the petroleum industry, utility industry and communications industry.

Each participant is encouraged to be proactive in the learning experience by asking as well as answering questions. Students will be provided a manual to keep as well as a folder of numerous forms and other presentation materials. The course will conclude with a written exam which will help reinforce what has been learned.
Students will also be presented the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice established by the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL) which is essential for every landman.

The Petroleum Landman School (PLS) is proud to announce a recent strategic alliance between the school and a company called the CLS Group (Capital Land Services, Inc). They have offices in Edmond, Oklahoma – Tulsa, Oklahoma – Fort Worth, Texas – Denver, Colorado, Parkersburg, West Virginia – and soon to open Pittsburg, Pennsylvania and central California. PLS students who qualify may be extended an opportunity to participate (providing a project is available) in the CLS Work Program – meaning if there is work available for them to shadow our field landmen then the invitation will be extended (please keep in mind this will happen if there is such work available), and Mentorship Program in the event CLS elects to use them as contract landmen. The Work Program allows students the ability to work alongside CLS landmen while attending school to gain a better grasp of concepts discussed in class. The Mentorship Program allows them to work with an assigned mentor. Graduates of PLS may be invited to submit their resumes to the CLS Group.
