Director’s ReportAMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL LANDMENQUARTERLY BOARD MEETING

The AAPL Quarterly Board Meeting was held Sun-day, September 19, 2010, at the Couer d’ Alene Resort, Couer d’ Alene, Idaho. President’s Report: Steve Wentworth, AAPL Presi-dent, called the meeting to Order, an Invocation was provided by Brooks Yates, Treasurer, followed by the Introduction of guests and the roll call of the Execu-tive Committee, Directors and Committee Chairs. Upon adoption of the agenda and introduction and seating of substitute and new directors, the Minutes from the last Board Meeting on June 16, 2010, were adopted by ac-clamation. Steve Wentworth presided over the meeting and began by giving his report on his recent travels and speaking engagements. He further extended his thanks for all the hospitality shown during his recent travels throughout the last 4 months. Staff Report: Marty Schardt, AAPL EVP, welcomed all to Idaho and again thanked the members of the Search committee, Executive committee and Board of Directors for giving him the opportunity to serve our Association. He informed all there were over 800 people registered at the Vail, Colorado, annual meeting, which exceeded expectations. Boston is the selected city for the 2011 AAPL annual meeting. The new directors orientation held on August 11,2010, was a success and good experi-ence for all in attendance. Marty discussed his recent travels where he is reaching out to local associations for ideas to better serve our membership. Summer NAPE was very successful in terms of recruiting new members and making new industry contacts. The AAPL annual audit is underway and is estimated to be completed by mid-September. Information from the audit will be pre-sented at the December 2010 board meeting. The AAPL website is continuing to experience problems and Marty has identified some of the issues which he is working to resolve. His goal is to provide more content, easier use and better performance in the future. He has cre-ated a suggestion box thru the website and encourages all members to utilize it by sending their suggestions to [email protected] . AAPL hired Brent Sch-reiber on 8/16/2010, as the new Membership and Busi-ness Development Manager. Brent’s goal over the next year is to increase membership and strengthen AAPL’s relationships with local associations. NAPE: Robin Forte’, Executive Vice-President, began

his presentation with a history of NAPE going back to the first NAPE event held at the Westin Galleria in Houston in 1993 that had approximately 80 booths and 800 attendees to current 2010 in which 2 NAPE events were held with over 2300 booths and 20,000 in attendance. Robin reports that AAPL had a successful summer NAPE 2010 event in spite of being down 17% in 2009. Attendance was up 3.8% with 5700 registered. Booths were down 3.5% with 622 booths. Total Net Income to AAPL was $ 668,250. The Summer NAPE conference had 744 in attendance, a 170% increase over the 2009 Summer NAPE conference. New items were introduced at Summer NAPE including a souvenir store, commercial concessions, and “You are here” and “They are here” stations for ease in locating booths and or companies. NAPE presented 2 houses to families of 2 veterans at a presentation during the American Hero’s luncheon. The homes were valued at $250,000 with much of the labor and materials donated by Bay Build-ers Company. $105,000 was raised for the American Heroes fund. Robin is still in process of analyzing its expenses and revenue and will publish the results of summer NAPE soon. Booth sales for NAPE 2011 are on track with last year, and booth assignments for prior-ity registrations were sent out mid-August and are also available on line via the interactive floor plan. Promo-tional materials will be mailed and attendee registration will begin around the first of November. Winter 2011 NAPE is scheduled for 2/16,17 & 18/2010. Treasurer’s Report: Brooks Yates, Treasurer, provided his report on AAPL, Inc. ending 6/30/2010 and reflect-ing an increase in the balance sheet to $17,110,610 or an increase of 21.6% increase when compared to 3/31/10. For the same period, revenues increased to $6,900,693. This increase is attributable to an improvement in real-ized and unrealized gains in the investment portfolio, increases in education income, dues, NAPE and sum-mer NAPE. The statement of investments account reflects investments as of 6/30/10, of $ 16,632,763 or an increase of $3,334,714 as compared to 6/30/09. This increase is attributable to an improvement in realized and unrealized gains in the investment portfolio of $5,918,531. Brooks indicated the Education Founda-tion reported an increase in the balance sheet from $2,329,158 in 6/30/09 to $2,410,655 in 6/30/10. The AAPL Landman Scholarship Trust reflected an increase in the Balance Sheet from $ 1,122,755 in 6/30/09 to $1,327,174 in 6/30/10 due to increased investment income.

IRS significantly revising the 990 forms from 2007 to 2008 requiring many items to be reported in more detail than previous returns.

TexasOct 5, 2010 By OGJ editors HOUSTON, Oct. 5 -- Plains Exploration & Production Co. signed an agreement to acquire from Houston American Energy Corp. its holdings in Karnes County, Tex. Houston American will retain an overriding royalty interest in the assets.

The planned purchase and sale are part of Plains’ announced $578 million acquisition of interests in about 60,000 net acres in the Eagle Ford oil and gas condensate windows in South Texas.

Under the agreement, Houston American will sell to Plains its 2.5% working interest in more than 6,000 gross acres in Karnes County for about $1.65 million cash, less customary closing costs.

As part of the transaction, Houston American will retain a 1.25% of 8/8’s overriding royalty interest (ORRI) in this acreage. In addition, Houston American will retain its 1.25% ORRI on any additional acreage Plains acquires within the Prospect Area (about 50,000 gross acres in Karnes County) up until Apr. 2, 2012.

Obama Administration Ends Deepwater Drilling Banby Stephen Power|The Wall Street Journal

Tuesday, October 12, 2010

The Obama administration said Tuesday it will end a controversial moratorium on deepwater oil drilling, but it’s unclear how quickly idled oil rigs can go back to work in the Gulf of Mexico.Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, in a statement, said drilling in waters deeper than 500 feet can resume, as long as rig operators can demonstrate they comply with new safety regulations imposed since the April 20 rig explosion that began the three-month Gulf oil spill.Among the new conditions on deepwater drilling: the chief executives of rig operator companies must certify to the government that they comply with all safety regulations; and members of the industry must demonstrate they have the equipment necessary to contain a deepwater well blowout.The Interior Department reiterated in its statement that it intends to institute more rules aimed at preventing deepwater blowouts -- regulations some industry officials say could sharply escalate the costs of operating in U.S. waters.The deepwater drilling moratorium, originally scheduled to end Nov. 30, has become an election-season political headache for the administration, drawing fire from the oil industry, Republicans and some Democrats who say the ban has added to the economic distress of the Gulf coast region.The government’s top offshore drilling regulator, Michael Bromwich, separately told reporters that it is unlikely companies could resume drilling immediately, even when the moratorium is lifted. Mr. Bromwich, director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, said his agency will need to time to carefully vet companies’ applications to ensure they comply with new safety and environmental regulations established since the April 20 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig and the subsequent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.He emphasized that the pace of approvals will depend on the quality of companies’ applications and whether they adhere to the new safeguards.A decision to scale back the moratorium could help ease political pressures on the Obama administration from Gulf Coast lawmakers, who complain the policy has cost their region thousands of jobs. Those pressures have grown with the recent move by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D., La.) to block the confirmation of Jacob Lew to serve as Mr. Obama’s budget director.Industry officials reacted to the administration’s statements with a mix of relief and apprehension.“The lifting of the formal moratorium is the important first step that Hornbeck and others have been fighting for in the courts, but what the industry really needs is clarity in the

Industry Affair’s Report

Industry Affair’s Report regulatory framework, so we can get back to work,” said Samuel Giberga, senior vice president and general counsel of Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc., a Covington, La.,-based firm that successfully challenged an earlier version of the moratorium in federal court.Mr. Giberga said it was unclear how much response equipment the government would require companies engaged in deepwater drilling to have on hand in the event of future spills.The Obama administration has defended the moratorium, imposed in response to the BP Plc Deepwater Horizon oil spill, as necessary to give regulators and oil companies time to figure out what should be done to prevent a repeat of the disaster. But the ban on new deepwater drilling quickly became entangled in the politics of jobs.In July, Mr. Browmich told Salazar in a memorandum that a six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling would cost roughly 23,000 jobs. The memorandum was made public by the Justice Department in August in response to litigation over the moratorium. A federal district judge in June ruled the original moratorium invalid, and an appeals court backed that ruling. The administration responded with a new ban that is now also under review by the court.The administration now says the impacts have been less severe than first thought. A study published in September by the Commerce Department said that roughly 2,000 of the 9,700 workers aboard the more than three dozen offshore rigs affected by the moratorium had lost their jobs or moved away from the gulf since the moratorium was imposed in late May. Another 6,000 to 10,000 workers in related industries also lost work because of the moratorium, the study found.But overall employment in the five Louisiana parishes most dependent on the offshore oil and gas industry has remained steady, the study found, partly because of the jobs created by the spill cleanup.The oil industry and its advocates have challenged the administration’s estimates as overly rosy. The administration’s figures, they point out, do not include jobs lost due to a slowdown in shallow-water drilling. Since April, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has permitted only a dozen new shallow-water wells, compared with 10 to 15 a month before the April 20 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig.The administration’s study also concluded that hiring would pick up once the moratorium is lifted. Industry officials have challenged that assumption.“The shallow water situation suggests that the [permitting] will be dragged out considerably,” says Joseph Mason, a professor of finance at Louisiana State University who has studied the economic impact of the moratorium.Speaking to reporters at an event organized by Platts, an

energy news service, Mr. Bromwich said he would not succumb to what he called “political pressure” to speed up the processing of drilling permits.“We do want to be responsive to applications but we need to be careful and make sure the permit applications satisfy the new and old regulatory requirements,” Mr. Bromwich said. “If that has the effect of slowing the rate of [approvals] I think we ought to accept that as the cost of improving safety.”Obama: Yes to 2011 climate bill push

Obama is willing to throw his weight behind climate legislation, he told Rolling Stone. | AP Photo CloseBy DARREN SAMUELSOHN | 9/28/10 1:21 PM EDT Updated: 9/28/10 4:12 PM EDT President Barack Obama is pledging to throw his full weight next year behind efforts to overhaul the nation’s energy and climate change policies, though he concedes such moves might need to happen “in chunks.” In an interview published Tuesday by Rolling Stone magazine, Obama lamented how the economic crisis contributed to this year’s Senate stalemate over a comprehensive bill to cap carbon dioxide emissions and establish renewable power standards.

But for the first time, Obama publicly committed to trying again next year. “One of my top priorities next year is to have an energy policy that begins to address all facets of our overreliance on fossil fuels,” Obama said. “We may end up having to do it in chunks, as opposed to some sort of comprehensive omnibus legislation. But we’re going to stay on this because it is good for our economy, it’s good for our national security and, ultimately, it’s good for our environment.” Obama didn’t elaborate on specific pieces he’d like to see move in the next version of energy and climate legislation, but ideas floating around on Capitol Hill include a nationwide standard for renewables and a limit just on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Much of Obama’s success on the climate issue hinges on who controls Congress. House and Senate Democratic leaders say they would try again with a big push akin to the last two years, while some key Republicans are promising to hold hearings, if they are in charge, that investigate global warming science and Obama’s climate policies. Obama has faced criticism from many energy experts and environmentalists for not putting enough emphasis on his green agenda. Some greens are even looking for alternative candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2012.

The Trustees of the AAPL Educational Foundation initiated these events to provide a forum for field landmen to gather for education, networking, and good food, all at no cost to all AAPL Active members and $25.00 to non-members attending. The cost for the Field Landman Seminars is usually $50.00 to all non AAPL members, but OCAPL is generously donating half of the fees for non AAPL members registering for this event. This program is designed for Field Landman to have the opportunity to register to become a member of the AAPL at a considerably discounted rate.

The $25.00 registration fee covers this education class, happy hour, dinner, plus the first year of membership dues. Please note: You can fill out you application prior to attending this seminar and send it into AAPL headquarters ATTN: Lahoma Long or bring it with you for processing. We will also have applications available onsite.

The program begins with happy hour and a BBQ dinner, followed by two very timely and

relevant presentations. Richard Grimes. will talk on “OOC pooling, spacing etc.” and Jack Richards will be giving a talk on ethics.
