Projected Production and Demand in the US

• US is projected to continue to import Oil (40%) in the future.• US is projected to export more gas from 1% to 19% of its production by 2040.

This will be done by Liquefaction of Natural Gas (LNG) to -260 degrees F then transporting via insulated vessels.

Land Map of US

Of the 2.27 Billion acres of Land from the US, 28% or over 600 million acres is controlled by the Federal Government (mostly in the west). This includes BLM, USFWS, NPS, BIA, USFS, and USACE. White shows mostly private land or 72%.

Past CMU graduates with a concentration in EMGT/Landman

• Many of our students will get positions as a Landman with Brokerage firms, energy companies, pipelines, and utilities.

• Other student grads have gone to work with energy service companies, environmental/regulatory compliance, accounting, finance, marketing/transportation, and field positions in different capacities.–

Map of where most graduates are working

What is a Landman?

• A landman is a trained professional who performs work for energy companies, particularly oil and gas companies and coal companies.

• A landman performs one or more of these functions:– Negotiating for the acquisition or divestiture of mineral

rights.– Negotiating business agreements that provide for the

exploration for and/or development of minerals.– Determining ownership in minerals through the research of

public and private records.– Reviewing the status of title, curing title defects and

otherwise reducing title risk associated with ownership in minerals.

– Managing rights and/or obligations derived from ownership of interests in minerals.

– Unitizing or pooling of interests in minerals.

For whom does a Landman work?

• Oil and gas companies• Pipeline companies• Coal companies• Wind energy companies• For land brokers who provide service to any

of the above• Independent – own business and properties• Advising individuals concerning agreement• Starting salaries for entering Landmen range

from $58K to $74K

Where does a Landman work?

• In offices of companies• In the field talking to land owners• In courthouses reviewing title• Visiting other companies to negotiate

agreements

Other Landman Opportunities

• Management of resources• Line management • Alternative energy fields

Other Energy Management Opportunities

• Servicing energy companies (marketing products and services)

• Environmental and Regulatory Compliance (mitigating impacts from energy development and permitting of energy projects)

• Accounting and Finance (oil&gas accounting, procurement, etc.)

• Marketing/Transportation (sale of Oil&Natural gas, hedging, and midstream/downstream opportunities)

• Program– 4-year program

– Bachelor of Business Administration• Concentration 30 hours

– Landman/Energy Management

• Syllabi available– Alignment of curriculum with AAPL standards

– Also offer a certificate in the program which requires 4 courses or 12 credit hours with another degree.

Energy Management/Landman Curriculum –Required Courses

• EMGT 340 Energy Industry Fundamentals• Provides energy literacy through a survey of the

sources, distribution and uses of energy, including the evolution of energy from wood fires to coal to oil to the current mix of coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, geothermal, biomass, solar and ocean currents and tides. Future energy policy, sources, uses and case studies will be discussed as well as alternative energy sources. Instructor Steve Soychak

Climate Change was driving Energy Policiy to reduce CO2 emissions, but Americans do prioritize it differently based on Politics

Svante Arrhenius is one of the Fathers of the Greenhouse Gas Effect

In 1895 to 1900 Arrhenius predicted that the Earth would warm due to increase in CO2 due to primarily to Coal burning. As Arrhenius predicted, both carbon dioxide levels and temperatures increased from 1900–1999. However, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased much more quickly than he expected, but the Earth hasn't warmed as much as he thought it would.

Arrhenius published “By the influence of the increasing percentage of carbonic acid in the atmosphere, we may hope to enjoy ages with more equable and better climates, especially as regards the colder regions of the earth, ages when the earth will bring forth much more abundant crops than at present, for the benefit of rapidly propagating mankind." (p63)

Steven Soychak, program director of the Energy Management/Landman program at Colorado Mesa University, and four of his students recently toured one of our Mancos horizontal well-pads near Debeque, Colorado, the Pueblo Airport Generating Station and the Busch Ranch Wind Farm.

“It was truly an eye-opening and educational experience for all of us,” Soychak said. He also said the students gained a much better understanding of each primary source of electricity and how they interact to provide consumers with affordable energy, as Black Hills works towards meeting the Colorado mandate of a 30 percent renewables portfolio by 2020.

The bachelor’s degree in Energy Management/Landman allows Colorado Mesa University to play an integral role in the developing energy industry worldwide. Students will have the opportunity to acquire business knowledge and skills, as well as a basic understanding of geology, engineering, environmental sciences, marketing, energy management and Landman.

This program was initiated in 2007. Today, 56 students are enrolled in the Energy Management/Landman program. The majority of graduates are employed in the oil and gas industry, with some in renewables and utilities. The faculty’s practical and field experience contributes to the students receiving a hands-on education that will help prepare the students for the challenges that lie ahead for the energy industry.

Black Hills employees helping to arrange and coordinate the visit were John Benton, Chris Burke, Kevin Hall, Paul Hanna, Gary Stripling and George Tatar.
