Oil deals, cartel drama, and the quirks of Midland life collide in Episode 7 of *Landman*, and we couldn’t resist breaking it all down. From the wild art of wrangling a 100% payout farm out deal to the gritty realities of Val Verde Basin operations, this episode is packed with the good, the bad, and the hilariously accurate of oil and gas life. We’re pulling back the curtain on what the show gets right (and where it completely misses the mark), with real stories about stubborn landowners, dicey field security, and those high-stakes private banking chats that could make or break a deal. It’s all here, served with a healthy dose of Midland charm and a side of sharp commentary.
