Pipeline Right of Way and Midstream Surface Use Negotiation
Pipeline right of way agreements are among the most overlooked oil and gas agreements. Many landowners enter into right of way agreements without considering the long term consequences of having a pipeline operating on their land. In Arkansas, pipeline companies have the right of eminent domain. If a pipeline company is condemning your land, there are options to hold the pipeline company in check. Law Offices of Mark Robinette provides representation throughout the state of Arkansas in condemnation cases. Don’t forget pipeline surface use! Pipelines often have surface appurtenances. The placement and screening of these appurtenances are negotiable. Midstream surface use is also negotiable. Things such as compressor stations can adversely affect the value of your land or be a profit center. The difference is effective negotiation on the front end.
Surface Use and Surface Damage Negotiation
There is only one chance to get an oil and gas surface use and damage agreement right–the first time. The same is true of brine surface use agreements. If you don’t own your minerals, the oil and gas or brine company will approach you to negotiate surface damages and surface use. This is your best opportunity to have a valuable and effective agreement. There are limited statutory protections for landowners, and an agreement with the oil and gas company is your best chance to obtain maximum protection for your land. Arkansas based Law Offices of Mark Robinette can provide you with an effective, attorney-drafted oil and gas surface use and damage agreement that gives you piece of mind for your land investment.
