Testimonials

"After one of my employees attended your workshop, I sent him to another Land/Division Order course; however, he says that your courses are the best! In fact, everyone I've sent to your courses say that they are very thorough and well taught."

"Thank you for presenting your Land Administration workshops for our company last month. As always, they were informative, interactive and enriching. Everyone learned something new and really seemed to enjoy themselves, as confirmed by the many comments I received from the attendees. Your knowledge is very valuable and I thank you for sharing your time with our company."

"Just a quick update - I was promoted from DO Tech to DO Analyst a couple of months after completing this workshop. Thank you so much."

"Wow! I learned more about the clauses of a lease and how they impact my job - more than I ever thought."

"This was not only valuable but fun!! Thanks! I learned a great deal about unit participation and drilling processes."

"Farmouts and Pooling have always been somewhat of a mystery to me. Great class and fun too."

I appreciate how exceptionally well you explained the information and the patience and humor you exhibited during our fundamental class this week. I got so much knowledge on quite a few things I have been fuzzy on. I still have a lot to learn and practice, but you were very instrumental in helping on the correct path that I have been struggling with. When I master the fundamentals, I look forward to taking the advanced class - you are a wonderful instructor. Marianna

"Over the course of my career in oil and gas I have attended many workshops and classes. This was by far the best I have ever attended!"

"This is the best class I have ever attended. Thank you so much. I can’t tell you how much I learned!"

"I truly wish the teachers in our education program would take as much time and effort to make their students interested in learning new material – just as you did in these classes. Several of us agreed that these classes were the best we have ever attended! GREAT JOB!"

"You probably received evaluations that were glowing already…but I wanted to let you know that I have received non-solicited positive feedback about your classes here in Tulsa. The feedback is VERY positive. They want you back…Encore! Encore!"

"I’m doing well in my new career. I’m enjoying the work and learning a lot. I truly believe taking your work shop was one of the best things I could have done to get started as a DO analyst. It provided me with a lot of the basic terms and calculation, I had some knowledge my first day."

"I was in your workshops in Dallas. I just wanted to write and tell you I enjoyed the classes a great deal. I hope to do another one next year when you come back to town. I had alot of fun. I work with the lawyer and three other land guys that were in the class. It was a great learning experience. Thanks." Doug

"I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful experience in your Fundamentals & Beyond Workshop this Tuesday and Wednesday. You provided me with new perspectives in areas of my job that I previously considered myself fairly familiar. I also enjoyed learning information new to me, which I know will help me to grow and develop my career in the oil and gas industry. Your ability to thoroughly explain the material, I’m sure, comes from your personal experiences, and I want to thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with me. Don’t retire too soon…you’re an asset to the industry!" Meagan

"I enjoyed and appreciated your Land Admin Workshop this week. Your style of teaching is very refreshing, never boring and very informative. I was able to pull a lot of new information from it that will no doubt help me help my company and my career. Yes, you gave me the big picture of a land department as well as some great specific training." Linda

On-line class - A Comprehensive Study on the Oil & Gas Lease - This class is very informative and allows the student to go forward at their own pace and concentrate on areas that may require more attention. The textbook matched the online text and quizzes and the information was very easy to follow. The examples were excellent. The quizzes at the end of each chapter are a great aspect to this class. They provide a way for the student to gage their knowledge of the chapter and require further focus on the material. There are some state specific items included in the course that may not be of immediate use for an analyst, but will generate an elevated thought process and be an excellent resource for future referral. I think the class definitely has advantages over the traditional classroom environment. In my opinion, the course covers information that you cannot go over enough as a new analyst. This class is a great tool for bringing the picture into focus. Nikki B.

On-line class - Comprehensive Study on the Oil & Gas Lease - "This course was great. I really wish I had some of this information when I was put out in the field last summer. Everything I had learned to this point in my career has come from shadowing other landmen in the field, and although that experience was great, it was less than thorough ...... every chapter through this course helped me fill in the gaps of things I was never taught and build a solid working knowledge as far as the leasing process goes. In short this course was a blast, and I am definitely going to recommend it to some of the younger people I know who are interested in the O&G business." Chris L.

On-line Class: "I just got started on the Property and Ownership class. The 1st 2 chapters have been very good and my employees and I have referred to the book on several occasions." Deanne C., Division Order Coordinator

On-Line Class: I just finished the first three lessons and found them to be very detailed and informative. The information in these lessons have already proven very valuable in my day to day dealings with our owners, and the documentation they have provided, especially the differences in the language of the deeds and assignments, mineral interest and royalty ownerships. I truly look forward to reading and completing more of the lessons. Barbara S.

I just wanted to say thanks again for such a great class! I learned a ton and the workbooks are going to be really helpful for me to reference. Amie L.

I attended the 2008 Advanced Workshop last week in Tulsa, which again was absolutely the best format and seminar I have attended in my 30 years in this industry. Karen B.

I want to let you know that the two workshop I attended were very informational and have increased my level of knowledge in the industry. As a result, I am one step closer in realizing my goal to sit for the CPLTA exam. For that I am very thankful to you. Mae T.

I am so glad you brought up the issues revolving around mineral deeds or conveyances that transfer "undivided" instead of just "transfer 35% of all of my interest"... I told my supervisor and it was determined that NOT all of us are correctly transferring interest. My boss was so glad that I questioned it... and will make sure we are ALL on the same page.. as half of our staff in Land .. is NEW. Diane
