A modern-day story of making a fortune 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.
Essentially, they manage the land and secure the leases so that they can drill for oil and gas
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. Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, housing for workers (man-camp), assemble the drilling equipment, and drill the well itself, especially in remote locations.
Featured on CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #4424 (2022)
They are also part of the fixer, problem solver, and facilitator.. I have to start by saying that I am a huge fan of pretty much everything Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, 1923, 1883, Tulsa King, Lioness, Sicario, Hill or Highwater, Wind River, etc.
This is another hit for Sheridan
etc.). He hits home run after home run and Landman is no different.
Landman is set in modern day Texas where everyone from billionaires to roughnecks are trying to get rich in the oil industry
This series follows Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) as he tries to take his company to the top during the oil boom. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good new series to watch, especially if you are a Taylor Sheridan fan.
