"What number per foot should we ask for 50' permant right away, 16" collection main, and a 12" Waterline going through our property.  THe number the offered is extremely low in my book.  Any help would be greatly appreciated."

"Hi All,Anadarko just offered us $15 per ft they said 3 lines(1hi.,1low &water) we told them must pay for each line,said they need it for our well&wells on next door land. We are in Cogan House tsw. We also are next to state game lands they…"

"Part of my concern is the risk bigger pipe more risk in the event of a disaster."

"Graveyboy,   It really should not matter what size the pipelines are. You will not see them, they'll be under the surface. I think your concern should be: will all three lines be laid at one time? If they are laid at different times this…"

"I have been offered 35/ft for 3 lines  in a 50 ft row but they won't say how big the lines will be."

"Most pipeline companies pay by the rod (16.5 ft.) and price range from $200 to $800 per rod, depending on the width of the ROW. Large 42" pipelines usually require 50' to 60' ROW, smaller line will require 30' ROW. It's the…"

"i agree 100% they are going to flow billions of $$ worth of gas so i think they should pay alot more than $35.00/ft. What part of Gamble township do you live in?"

"The size and number of pipes does indeed enter the equation. Mr. Bennett, I believe you and I are currently dealing with Anadarko for a ROW for a trunk line consisting of three lines. They will not specify the size of the lines, but a trunk line…"

"Anyone signing for ROW offers in Gamble Twp? We were contacted today. What is the going rate there? Thanks!"

"Hi , a question I have is that once receiving the money does that mean they never have to renegotiate or pay any monies in the future? Is this not like the lease we established for the gas/oil lease where it expires in five years or can be…"

"The ones I've seen this week are $15 per linear ft for the first pipe and $10 per linear foot for each pipe thereafter (ie $35 per linear foot for 3)."

"I've been seeing a top end of $15-$16 per lineal foot to date. May vary on width of ROW, pressure of gas, size of pipe and number of pipes. You can negotiate location, type of re-vegitation (including liming and fertilizing), surface damage…"

"well, how much are they paying?"
