  Jess Harris, Sr. (1891-1971) Hart Publications named Oklahoma landman Jess Harris Sr. as one of the “100 most influential people” in the petroleum industry in the 20th century. It is a list that includes John D. Rockefeller and Winston Churchill and demonstrates Harris’ standing as a giant in his field. The landman is an essential figure in the acquisition of leases necessary for the drilling of oil. In a rough and tumble business, Harris and the firm he established have for 70 years possessed an unexcelled reputation for professional competence and integrity. Harris began his career in the petroleum industry in Hughes and Seminole counties and expanded into the oilfields of Texas. In partnership with Thomas Nix, he leased millions of acres for his clients and took part in numerous oil and gas drilling ventures all over the United States. Such was the reputation of his firm that major companies and independent operators “working in the Midcontinent region sent their potential hires to the Harris firm for training.” Harris was instrumental in establishing the Oklahoma City Association of Petroleum Landmen. The Jess Harris Memorial Golf Tournament, hosted by that organization for the benefit of charity, is a tribute to his generosity and the esteem in which his peers held him.
