MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--First Titan Corp. (OTCBB: FTTN) seeks a high-level landman as the company takes the next step in its growth by adding lucrative assets in the oil-rich West Texas area to its portfolio. Spurred by the Cline Shale, oil and gas production in West Texas is projected to add $20 billion to the region’s economy by 2022.
FTTN is specifically seeking a landman to investigate mineral rights in the Sweetwater-Abilene corridor. Texas produced over 733 million barrels of oil in 2013, and is projected to produce 3.4 million barrels of oil per day the rest of the year, according to a recent report by the Dallas Business Journal. A study by the University of Texas-San Antonio’s Institute for Economic Development considers a $20 billion boost to the economy by the Cline Shale to be a conservative projection.
“Hiring an experienced landman enables us to more quickly identify worthwhile assets to pursue in the West Texas area,” FTTN CEO G. Jonathan Pina said. “We are excited about the potential of growing First Titan’s interests in this region.”
First Titan Corp. owns non-operating working interests in wells located in Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. The Company is building an asset base of oil and gas properties and is dedicated to the continued development of energy assets throughout North America alongside companies such as Lucas Energy, Inc. (NYSE: LEI), Earthstone Energy, Inc. (NYSE: ESTE), Fieldpoint Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: FPP) and Evolution Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: EPM).
