Who is CGX's Landman?
Just to have something to talk about...
There is a new series on Prime and free called the "Landman". It is high budget with many well known actors.. It is based on the oil business in the Permian basin with scenes supposedly in Midland and Odessa, TX. Very early in the first episode they explain what the Landman does. To simplify "Secure the leases and take care of the people". Soon after, the Landman in the series is paying off some rancher with $600k to prevent a class action lawsuit...thus taking care of the people. Only 2 episodes out, but very realistic and based of lots of facts and worth the watch for anyone interested in the Oil business, plus very entertaining with lots of acction.. I would have binge watched had all episodes been out as there are many side events ongoing. Like when the 17 year old daughter visits her divorced Dad etc. Some of the lines are crude, but very funny
What I am wondering is who is/was the Landman for CGX? Suresh? Or did they think they did not need one? Or was Suresh supposed to be the guy who ran the show and who was supposed to "Secure the Leases and take care of the people" that would include the Guyana government? If they had no Landman, mayber one reason the lease is in question, if they had one, he sucked at his job. Maybe some other company has a very good Landman, we will see when we know for sure who ends up with the Coretyne lease.
