Abstract
In an interview, land manager CrownQuest Operating LLC Jeffrey T. Beard talked about his career. According to Beard, as land manager, he is overseeing the day-to-day operations, making sure our title's cleared, locations are ready and rights-of-way are bought so that the drilling engineers and completion engineers have the ability to get in there and do their jobs. The majority of their budget is the Permian. All of their current drilling activity is Permian. They started putting the position together in 2007 and up until about 2014, they were principally drilling vertical wells. In 2003, whenever he started, they hired him to do minerals, so from 2003 to 2007, his day-to-day job was buying minerals. Then in 2007, they decided that because of some of the results that they had seen on some of the minerals that they bought in the Midland Basin, they got intrigued with the vertical Wolfberry play.
