Education Session
The AAPL Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice provide minimum standards and a certainty of professionalism. While anyone can claim to be a "landman," AAPL's RLs, RPLs, and CPLs are governed by ethical standards and continuing education requirements. Examples of common misunderstandings of what a landman is will be considered, as well as how such examples may run afoul of AAPL standards.
Jasper Mason has experience in-house and in private practice representing exploration and production companies and private equity clients on acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures involving upstream and midstream oil and gas assets. Additionally, Jasper has represented clients in matters as diverse as tendering bids for contracts to supply oilfield service equipment in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), acquiring Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) leases in the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico, and attracting investors and industry partners to co-develop acreage on state-owned lands in Alaska. He has assisted clients ranging from individual investors to national oil companies.
