Landman.

Landman is a strange title for many to comprehend outside of the oil & gas industry. Understandably, since it neither pertains to land and is not at all exclusive to men.
As defined by the American Association of Landmen:
"A landman performs services for the oil & gas companies. 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."
