A modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of West Texas oil rigs
See writer/director Taylor Sheridan’s most popular movies and TV series on IMDb, ranked by user rating.. A Landman, at least one who works in the petroleum industry, will act as the middleman between the exploration companies and the landowners. 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 Essentially, they manage the land and secure the leases, so they can drill oil and gas.
Just three episodes in
Like a foreman on a construction site, they build out roads, living quarters for the workers (man-camp), assemble the excavation machinery and drill the well itself especially in remote locations. They are also, part Fixer, Problem Solver and Facilitator as well.. Referenced in CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #44.24 (2022).
Based in the Permian basin Oilfield , great casting so far!
Billy bob Thornton is welcome back to Texas since his Friday Nights in 2006. The feeling is Yellowstone and this is welcome, series with some reality versus superheroes and fantasy. Interesting people and storylines…We Oilfield guys are shaking our heads at the inaccuracies of the field life and explosions/blow outs.The technical failures in the first three episodes are embarrassing and your technical consultant got everything wrong in the Blowout scene.A stuck old valve, the 24 inch Pipe wrench (applied upside down being hammered near to the top?
You need torque, No Cheater pipe tried first?
100% wrong. No hammer unless a brass hammer (ie no sparks)? No experienced Oilfield downstream crew would ever have done this.
A shambolic Technical director
Billy is then seen as a 'Landman' trying to shut down a blowout on location).Experienced and again places the wrench upside down and hits his own finger ? my ex Oilfield group reactions.
