English term or phrase: by trading leases
He made his living as a petroleum industry landman, an independent operator who attempted to identify properties where oil might be discovered. The landman would scout the property, and then attempt to get the owner of the land to sign away the mineral rights in the form of a lease. Given the cost of drilling holes in the West Texas prairie only to find them dry, good money could be made by trading leases.
