This course is provided for professionals such as surface landmen, engineers, geologists and other professionals who either work with their mineral land department or manage their mineral land group as part of a larger team. Individuals new to the land industry would also benefit from this course; some knowledge of mineral land is beneficial but not required.
The course is designed to provide course attendees, who may have limited or basic knowledge of oil and gas, with a basic ground-up overview of mineral land and the role of landmen in the exploration process. This course will also include an introduction to land tenure and agreements in Western Canada.
