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.
