(March 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> A Landman or "Petroleum Landman"--in the United States and Canada--is an individual who performs various services for oil and gas exploration companies . According to the website of the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL), these services include but are not limited to: negotiating for the acquisition or divestiture of mineral rights; negotiating business agreements that provide for the exploration and / or development of minerals; determining ownership in minerals through the research of public and private records; reviewing the status of title, curing title defects and otherwise reducing title risk associated with ownership in minerals; managing rights and / or obligations derived from ownership of interests in minerals; and unitizing or pooling of interests in minerals . </P> <P> Since the services provided by the landman to the oil and gas exploration industry and other industries are so varied it is not uncommon for a landman to specialize in several different aspects of the profession at the same time . The term "landman" and nuances thereof also apply to women who practice the land management profession although a larger majority of practitioners continue to be men . </P>
