Snippets From The Episode

"At some point I believe that public oil and gas companies are gonna have to show investors a mechanism for growth. And um, and that usually comes in the form of either making a large acquisition into a new play or bolting onto an existing play, or, commencing a couple leasing campaigns and drilling new wells and new areas." - Josh Cornell
"When I got into the, the oil and gas industry, I was told by, you know, people much older than me, that you absolutely have to understand title in order to be a landman and regardless of what your role is within a land service company or public or private, you have to understand title." - Josh Cornell
"It really takes a in-house landman to know what they're doing with that particular unit and how quickly we need to get in there, or how competitive it is and what you really want out of it." - Brandon Ward
