MINERAL LAND PROFESSIONAL #MineralLandAdministrator #MineralLandandContractsManager
HOW DO I GET HERE?
Before a company can begin drilling for oil or gas, it needs to own the right to access and sell the minerals or resources found under the ground. This could be different owners than those who own the surface land rights. In Canada, almost 90 percent of these minerals are owned by the government, and the rest is owned by individuals or companies.
Completion of a two-year college diploma focused on Mineral Land Administration or Petroleum Land Administration is a minimum education requirement.
You are the person on the front lines. You hunt down the mineral right owners to negotiate deals. You help your company access the resources. You connect your company to the reservoir.
While not required, specific certifications may be requested by employers from either the Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen (CAPL) or Canadian Association of Land Administration (CAPLA).
What does this career look like? You secure mineral rights so your company can start oil and gas exploration. You are brought in early in the planning process of any project. You are part of a tight knit team of land professionals who work closely with exploration and development professionals such as engineers, geologists and geophysicists to determine which oil or gas reservoirs the company can access. Then, you get access to that underground resource. Since most minerals in Canada are owned by the government, you usually meet with government regulators and registry agents to determine a rental agreement, which will give your company the ability to drill and sell oil or gas from a negotiated location. In cases where an individual owns the mineral rights, you may meet with them in person to negotiate a deal.
HEALTH & SAFETY TRAINING Specific health and safety certifications will be determined by job requirements.

What would I do? You research. You look through databases, government documents and historic mineral rights data to determine who owns the rights to the minerals your company would like to access. Other activities might include: Monitoring obligations, commitment dates and expiry dates of mineral rights and land agreements. Ensuring negotiation and documentation of terms of agreements are aligned with the strategy and the requirements of the Asset Team and Land Department. Ensuring agreements are correctly recorded and maintained in Land Management databases. Providing advice on land strategies to capture value add opportunities, enhance land position and/or de-risk plays for future capital investment. Liaising with external stakeholders including regulatory bodies, industry associations, partners and competitors to ensure access to land opportunities are maintained and enhanced.
