The AAPL Fundamentals of Land Practices seminar is a one-day program designed for experienced landmen desiring to review some of the basics of our business. It is well suited for both the field landmen and the in-house landmen who want to learn more about land practices. It can serve as a primer for those starting out in landwork, but the focus is on a more experienced audience. The material presented will build on the foundation acquired on-the-job and will solidify skills recently acquired.
Day 1 also covers the review material included on the RPL Exam.
A bound book of class materials will be provided to all participants. Please note if you choose the EXAM ONLY option the review and book is not included.
