About Eric Schuchardt

My specialty is exploring, acquiring, producing, developing, and maintaining operated/non-operated Oil & Gas properties while also cultivating business development opportunities with landowner and industry partners. Most importantly, I’m a team player who excels at collaborating with a wide variety of cross-functional teams from departments like Geology, Engineering, Legal, Lease Records, Division Order, and Senior Management. With 22 years of experience as a Landman, I’ve had the opportunity to wear multiple hats relating to all phases of exploration lifecycle. As someone with a background in exploration, management, lease acquisition and maintenance, I am often described as a reliable partner who leads, organizes, and delivers projects ahead of deadlines and accurately predicts viable land opportunities. In past management and leadership roles, I: Grew production from 10mmcfe/day to over 110mmcfe/day in less than 10 years. Managed the Segno Prospect across 3 counties with 5K acres and 22 drilled wells while navigating an extremely complex and fluid working interest deal structure. Secured 2 small fledgling properties in South Texas and expanded by 12K gross/net acres, resulting in the successful drilling of 3 wells. Expanded a Brazos County property by 11K gross/net acres with 6 drilled wells. Ensured company contract compliance with a zero lawsuit record attributed to personal record across 15 years. Some of my key skills include:+ Contract Negotiation + Drafting & Interpretation + Broker Management + Owner/Client Consulting + Relationship Building + Mineral Management & Mineral Rights Acquisition + Agreements, Releases, Revenue Decks, Runsheets & Reports
