Tom Abell, Denver Law Masters of Resources Law Studies Graduate, Begins Work for Bill Barrett Corporation

Tom Abell, a 2010 Masters in Resource Law Studies graduate from the Denver Law Environmental and Natural Resources Law & Policy Graduate Program, has been hired as a landman for Bill Barrett Corporation (BBC), a mid-sized exploration and production company.

In his new role, Tom will be responsible for the development of an acquisition property in Utah. "I will oversee everything from landowner relations and permitting to the successful execution of our drilling program," according to Tom.

Historically BBC has focused on natural gas production, but more recently they are acquiring lands that have the potential for oil production.
