Andrew Hemmings

Rhett Cody, Landman, discusses the role of a Landman in the real estate and oil industries. A Landman is primarily responsible for handling mineral rights, which may be separately owned from the surface rights of a property. 

We Discuss:

  • Mineral rights and determining who owns these rights
  • The "Puzzle" that has to be put back together in identifying mineral rights ownership
  • How Landmen negotiate mineral leases
  • How landowners may unknowingly own mineral rights 
  • Rhett’s take on a new phenomenon in the area of mineral rights:  Carbon Capture.
