Scenario
A modern tale of making a fortune in the West Texas oil rig world
Check out writer/director Taylor Sheridan’s most popular movies and TV shows, ranked by user ratings on IMDb. A landowner, at least one who works in the oil industry, will serve as an intermediary between exploration companies and landowners. Typically, a landowner’s job is to negotiate and finalize agreements with landowners who have mineral rights to lease those rights to the company they represent. Essentially, they manage and obtain leases on the land so they can drill for oil and gas.
Only three episodes
Like a foreman at a construction site, they build roads, worker housing (man camp), assemble drilling rigs, and drill the well itself, especially in remote locations. They are also part fixers, part problem solvers, and part facilitators. Mentioned on CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #44.24 (2022). Billy Bob Thornton is back in Texas since his Friday Night in 2006.
Interesting characters and stories
The feel is Yellowstone and it’s a welcome one, a series with superheroes versus reality and a bit of fantasy. Based on the oil field in the Permian Basin, great casting so far! We Oilfield guys shake our heads at the inaccuracy of field life and the explosions/explosions. The first three episodes are embarrassingly technical failures and your tech advisor gets the explosion scene wrong.
A brass hammer (ie
An old valve that is stuck, a 24 inch pipe wrench (applied backwards and hammered on top? 100% wrong. Torque required, didn’t you try the cheater pipe first? no sparks) and not a hammer?
No experienced downriver oil field team will ever do that pretending to be a messy technical director
Landman” trying to stop a blowout (I turned the wrench upside down and hit his finger on it is hilarious on my former oilfield team.
