2024 Advanced Landman Institute Bundle

The American Association of Professional Landmen partnered with The Foundation for Natural Resources and Energy Law to offer a course focused on advanced and more in-depth presentations on issues critical to the work of landmen for the modern development of energy and minerals. Recordings from the event are available in this bundle. 

This course recognizes that the most successful landmen master more than land title and basic land contracts — they must have a good working knowledge of complex legal and contractual provisions and regulatory issues affecting development and keep abreast of market trends and current deal structures.

This bundle will benefit both Landmen and energy and mineral attorneys and provide up to 8.75 CEUs and 1 CEU ethics. 

Courses within this bundle include:
• Recent Developments in the US Oil and Gas M&A Market
• Acquiring Aging Oil and Gas Assets
• Structuring Oil and Gas Transactions
• Purchase Price Adjustments 
• Applying Title Defect Mechanics
• Adverse Possession by Oil and Gas Lessees
• Critical Steps and Essential Guidance for Negotiating JOAs
• Non-Operators and Mineral Owners' Rights to Information from Operators
• Reconciling Conflicts Between Oil and Gas and Renewable Development Projects
• New Challenges to Flaring and Venting Gas in Upstream Operations
• Ethical Dilemmas in Today's Oil Fields
