A modern-day story about finding a fortune in the world of West Texas oil rigs
Watch the most popular movies and TV series from writer/director Taylor Sheridan on IMDb, sorted by user rating.. A landman, at least someone who works in the petroleum industry, acts as a middleman between the exploration companies and the landowners. Typically, a landman’s job is to negotiate and enter into contracts with landowners with mineral rights to lease those rights to the company they represent.
Quoted in CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #4424 (2022)
Essentially, they manage the land and secure the leases so they can drill for oil and gas. Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, living quarters for workers (men’s camps), oversee the assembly of excavation machinery, and the drilling of the well site itself, especially in remote locations. They are also part fixer, problem solver, and mediator..
No one on set knows how to help him with something so basic
I love the show and everything Taylor Sheridan does, but where was the technical advisor? In the pumping equipment accident, Billy Bob doesn’t even hold the pipe wrench properly. I had to watch it again as I couldn’t believe what I had just seen.
And a handheld explosive gas meter
And at the scene of the accident, a real crew would have the proper equipment and expertise. Like a 36″ pipe wrench that a couple of guys could operate. No one would hit a short pipe wrench with a hammer.
Heck, take a 2′ pipe to extend the arm if it was all you had available
Having worked in similar places, the show is a far cry from the safety precautions used in the industry, which follows OSHA regulations to the point of ridiculousness. No one would stand on a truck full of pipe and no one is at heights without a seatbelt.
