Testimonials

Quotations from our students about the Landman course

I am writing this testimonial because attending Petroleum Landman Institute was the best life changing decision I have ever made. I decided to change careers mid-life as, like everyone else, I needed to pay bills and had a son in college. I had always done corporate administrative work but when I was in college had taken Petroleum Landman classes. It was now or never to make changes. I have a Landman in the family with over 35 years experience and he told me that if I wanted work the only school to attend was Petroleum Landman Institute, located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and to be trained by David Murphy. I am now employed with a fantastic company with benefits. If you listen to David and follow his directions you will find the work.

Hi Dave, I started working this week in Fayette County Pennsylvania running title. It is only about 2 1/2 hours from my home in Ohio. Everything is going well. I again appreciate all your support. The training I received from Petroleum Landman Institute has definitely helped jump start my new career. I will be in touch in the future.

I contacted the Petroleum Landman Institute, LLC, after a career in the construction business for over 20 years. The course provided me with the tools to start a new career, and after some work to land that first job, I have not been without work since the class, and enjoy everything about it. We will always need oil and gas...at least for many, many years to come.

My new job is going well and I wanted to thank you again for all your help.

Dear David, just a note to pass on to your new classes. The Landman Training institute was one of the best things I’ve done for my career. When I started out, it was the fact that I had attended this course, that opened the door for me. And now that Ive been at it almost 3 yrs, when the economy went south in 08, it was their assistance through leads they provided me, that I finally found a broker starting a new project. When they say they will be there for you after the course, it’s true! Thank you David.

I started in this career about 2 years ago from a class I took from David Murphy in Louisiana, right out of the box after taking David’s advice I had my first position in Arkansas as a permit agent, also as he advised it was a boring job so I found a position in East PA as lease agent and stayed there about 8 months before it shut down, and from there I had a chance to move back to East Texas running title and leasing, and I am having a ball, Changing careers at 50 years old has been the best move I ever made.

David - As you know, it was two years ago in April that I attended your school. I had a job lined up within two weeks of finishing and I am now making among the highest day rates for my region. Landmen with years more experience than I have have been let go and I attribute that to what I learned in your school about networking and the importance of "doing" the job. It's okay to play hard but get your work done in a timely manner and be meticulous. That's a formula that has been working so far and I plan to stick to it. If you are reading this and you are thinking of attending this school, I implore you to do so. I don't normally say this when it comes to money, but if you have to, borrow it and GO! I did and after my first two pay checks I had earned over 130% of the cost of the school. And when you leave the school, David will give you his broker list to contact and send out your resume to. If I knew then what I know now, I would have probably paid the cost of the school for the broker list alone! By the way, my 2008 gross income was $144,000. Good times!

I did find a job maybe a month after the class. I have been enjoying doing this so much. Thank you so much for teaching me all about the industry. My boss and co-workers were very impressed about my knowledge.

David: Thank you for the hands-on training in the courthouse that you provided me in becoming a successful landman. As I quickly discovered there is no way to learn this from a hotel seminar or an online training program to become a proficient landman. Thank you for the help of landing my first job. Your job bank is awesome!

David: Attending your school was the best decision I ever made. My first check was over $5400 for 14 days worth of work and the next one two times as much. I want to thank ya'll for all the help after attending the course.

What made my mind up about attending a LANDMAN school which is 6-8 times more expensive was the back end support and the information I received from the the court house experience, in my opinion this is the most important part of the class. None of the other schools offer the Court house education. I started my first job a few weeks ago at $28.00 an hour, question "who out there in the real world without a college degree starts out in any profession at $28.00 an hour"? The best part about this is the day rate or hourly rate will go up from here with more experience. Most important keep a positive attitude and be diligent about finding a job and you will get your foot in the door if you attend this class.

I thoroughly enjoyed the class and instructors. Two months after attending the class I had an interview in Lafayette, and landed a job with them. I am currently working in Nacogdoches, Tx area going through the grantee, grantor books as expected. Again thank you for all the resources, when I need any advice in the future I will be in contact.

Although I have been title abstracting for years, I signed up for your class to fine tune my career as a landman. I came home and within 3 days I had a new assignment with a prominent oil and gas company with a daily pay rate increase of 44% plus lodging, meals and mileage. Thank you for all your help and hospitality. I would highly recommend the Petroleum Landman Institute, LLC. for those who are currently title abstracting and want to learn more to further their career.

In Denver Colorado I made 11K first month running title of all things. I am helping to train someone this week and they want me to start doing lease acquisitions soon. A classmate on the job made 2K more than I did this month. We thank you so much for all the help.

Many thanks to David for a great Seminar! We definitely received our money’s worth. I know I will be recommending your course to any of my friends who may be interested in becoming a landman.

The Petroleum Landman Institute provided my brother and I with the necessary tools to succeed as landmen. I started out making $250 a day and quickly began earning $350 shortly after. The classroom sessions paired with real courthouse training experience resulted in a coherent understanding of all aspects of the business. I couldn't be happier with my decision to attend, and I'm making more money than ever now. Thank you very much David.

Wanted to let you know that after attending the landman training that you offered I went to work in northwest La. in my home parish. I really enjoy the work and the challenge it has offered. After the project shut down we were working on, I sent my resume out to four different brokers and received three job offers. I would recomended your school to anyone who has a desire to become a professional landman.

I wanted to say thanks for all of your help in teaching me what i needed to know to launch my new career. I was able to go to work shortly after the class I attended as a seismic permitting agent. Your follow up and quick reponses to my questions after I started working have been invaluable. Also, the support i have received from the instructors has been incredible. Thanks Again to everyone at the school.

Thanks for everything. I won't forget how you stuck with me. For the first time I feel like I can get out there and make a better life for my family. It's almost too wonderful to believe. I plan to get better and keep making more money. I see that it really can happen now. Thanks so much!

Well I have just finished my first assignment running title on some property (with a little of David's help). It was successful and they were happy with my work so thanks again for everything.

I took the course last March and I have been working ever since the weekend after the course. I went to Victoria, TX for a 6 month assignment, then to Ft.Worth. The opportunity to work on a project for British Petroleum, in Chicago, presented itself so I took it. The money was too good to pass up! That is where I am currently working. After a brutal winter I look forward to returning to the south!!

I want to let you know that the landman seminar was awesome. I started out at $400.00 a day, and my mileage and motel are also paid for. I have worked in Texas, Alabama and Mississippi.Thanks.

I wanted to update you on everything since I've graduated from your landman school. I ended up landing a job 2 days following the school making $325/day as a trainee in Columbus, TX. I worked there for approx. a yr. running title, and also obtaining surface permits. I am currently working in Ft. Worth (Tarrant County) and doing extremely well. I have been out here almost a year now, and I absolutely love being a landman.( I can't believe I've already been in the business two years now! ) I wanted to thank you so much for being such an excellent instructor, and for giving me the knowledge to be as successful as I am today. Your school, and your reputation in the business have helped me tremendously. I can't thank you enough for all your help, and for always keeping me informed with up and coming jobs in La. Thank you so much again, and I will definitely be in touch.

The class is very beneficial for the beginning or experienced landman. Well worth the investment in time and money. THANKS!!!!!!

Very beneficial to the beginning or experienced landman in learning and understanding the various requirements and skills to be a successful landman. Well worth the investment in time and money.

About two weeks after I got home I found work with a company here at home. After my first week she was so impressed by the things I knew that she upped my pay. I have had my rate go up three more times since. I have had other offers but I chose to stay with this company because the owner is such an awesome person and 90% of her projects are around this area so I am home every night. I have to say that taking the Landman course was the best thing I have ever done. Thank you so much.

We are doing great and already advancing in pay! I am one of the top Landmen on our team and loving my job. Thanks for helping me start a new career in the right direction with great info.

Just wanted to drop you a note saying thanks for all you've done to change my life. When you told before the class started this past July that my first invoice would almost pay for the class. I thought "Right this is to good to be true" I had my doubts, but I was wrong!!! The class has change my life. I can't say enough about you and the other teachers. I will be ever indebted to ya'll. I will talk to any potential student if they want to call. I currently working in East TX doing title and mineral research and having to time of my life. Thanks once again.

I have found a job working with an Oil and Gas company out of Fort Worth. Thank you for the check up and thank you to everyone for making this job happen. I don't think I would have been able to have this opportunity without the class.

David: Wanted to let you know that I accepted a job with Joe who is with an Oil & Gas Exploration Company. I will be going to Jackson, MS next week. Thanks for your help. Keep in touch. Regards

I attended the class several months ago, and learned a tremendous amount of practical knowledge about the landman business. I would have to say the most beneficial aspect in my case was the job placement and back end support. With David Murphy’s help I was able to secure the job of my dreams, and found I could depend on him when any problem arose. I couldn’t have done it without their support. Thanks to all.

I have already found a job and will start mid February. Thank you for your help and following up. thank you. I know that this course started me out on the right track. Many people get into this field but have no idea what they are doing. I have experienced this with this job. Your course started me out in the right direction. Thank you.

I would like to thank you so much for the training I have received and the opportunity you have given me. Having come from Downeast Maine with a logging background dealing with land, I never imagined I could transition into oil and gas with such a financial boost in my income per year. Over the past year I have now grossed $84,000 plus enjoy my work very much. After my training period with Murphy Land Service, I have gone on to lease acquisition and title abstract work, and although the work is challenging, I find it extremely rewarding.

I never imagined that with over 30 years of a career in Northern land and logging that I would achieve this level of success and self-fulfillment. I now look forward to a future in oil and gas as being continually productive towards my retirement, instead of relying on Social Security at age 62. Your course has renewed my outlook in my later years.

Thank you so much for helping to change my future.

A well rounded, in depth course that brings you right into the world of the landman.

Teachers gave good background knowledge of the oil and gas development history. The abstractor, is an outstanding teacher. He demonstrated a great love and enthusiasm for his industry. Being from an old Louisiana family added to his overall industry knowledge. Some of the regional history he shared was priceless.

The landman, is very experienced and he willingly shared that experience with me in a manner that both instilled knowledge and confidence. I feel that we developed not only a teacher/student relationship, but an ongoing colleague-to-colleague relationship. I look forward to staying in touch with him and the school.

Teacher is very positive during the instruction.

With pleasure I write this letter to thank you for helping me obtain a job in the land business. I am presently working in Beeville, Texas with Dawson GE Physical as a Mineral Agent. My time as a mineral agent is spent in the court house abstracting. It is work that I enjoy and the time I spend with you helped me to feel confident in accepting my position.

I am a fifty-five years old female with a background of working in medical offices. I have always lived pay check to pay check. Not any more. The two checks which I received for the first month that I worked were for a total of over $8,100.00. For once I am not struggling, and know that financially I will never have to worry again. It is nice to know in a world where there is so much discrimination over age that there are companies willing to pay well that appreciate my years of experience instead of holding them against me. Once again, thank you for your time and assistance in obtaining a job. It has truly made a difference in my life.

I never imagined that with over 30 years of a career in Northern land and logging that I would achieve this level of success and self-fulfillment. I now look forward to a future in oil and gas as being continually productive towards my retirement, instead of relying on Social Security at age 62. Your course has renewed my outlook in my later years. Thank you so much for helping to change my future. The last few years as an Independent Landman have been very exciting and profitable. I have worked throughout the Gulf Coast as an Acquisition Buyer and Title Abstractor. Last year I grossed $83,933.00 and didn’t work the whole year. I appreciate your time and services.

Just wanted to touch base with you and let you know how things have progressed with my new Landman career since we first met. The past few years have been very interesting and profitable for my family and myself. I’ve averaged in the neighborhood of $85,000 per year since attending your classes. Which has more than facilitated the re-payment of your tuition and made our lives more comfortable. The knowledge based classes you provided were very clear, concise and easily absorbed. Again I thank you for your help and guidance and hope to speak to you soon.

I am doing great. I already had a job when I took the class. I completed that project and immediately started on another one. Right now I am in Cameron County in Brownsville, Texas doing mineral ownership. Things are going great!

I can not express how grateful I am to everyone on at the Petroleum Landman Institute. I found a job within in a week after getting out of the classes making 220 a day. That job has come to an end, but I already have another one lined up making 80 more dollars a day. I never thought without a college degree I would be able to make this kind of money for me and my family. I can not thank everyone at the institute enough from the ground up, everyone is so nice, and helpful. Even after your out of the class, I was able to call David Murphy the day of my first interview and guided me through a mock interview and it really gave me the confidence I needed to get the job.

I just wanted to thank you for all, your instructors, and classes did for me. It took me just over a week to get my first job, but it was for $350.00 a day plus per diem and expenses. I owe it all to you and your class, contacts, and advice. I also appreciate your follow up to make sure I found a good job. I look forward to our continuing association and friendship.

If you would like to talk with any of our grads, call David Murphy for their phone numbers.

More to come.....
