I have also received my packet from ET Rover

I have also received my packet from ET Rover.   I have property in Tyler Co. Wv that they are currently surveying for their pipeline.  I received mine late because of an emergency  services address change. Anyways I was Leary of signing an agreement for their survey because of mentioning of possible damages and or core drilling.  I did however call the number and the man said that a verbal agreement would be fine for just a walk in preliminary survey.  anybody had any offers yet?

Here's an example of what to get from Rover. What I would require for one pipeline. Let's say the distance is 2000 feet @ $125 per foot = $250,000. I would want the same amount for timber damage and the land within the ROW = $250,000. Plus $200,000 for access and temp work spaces. This brings the total to = $700,000. How does that sound to everyone??? It's the landowner's turn now!!!

Regarding these landowner groups formed by attorneys. If Rover has already set what they will pay on the main FERC line, what help is a landowners group going to be?

"For eminent domain pipelines, most every landowner is flushing good money down the toilet if the fee structure is a 1/3rd versus $X per hour."

Unless it goes the way the Bluegrass line went.  In which case the hourly fee that was paid to the lawyer was the only money transfer that happened.  It's never black and white.

We get it, you don't like lawyers.

If you find a junior attorney only charging $50/hr. then you should probably not use that firm.  Kind of like eating discount sushi.

And yes, of course you don't like attorneys.  The language you use is evidence of that.  Just own it, man.  Nobody will think less of you because you don't like the world's most disliked profession. 

As to what the fee agreement looks like why don't you call up the group and ask for one?  Talk to the people who actually do this for a living rather than us peons here on this humble forum.

"Likely being billed to clients at $150/hr or more."

Which is 3x more than you implied. You made it sound as if a landowner was going to get a few hours worth of work done for $50/hr., which is ludicrous. 

"By the way, exactly what is your gas profession?"

I can't imagine it being any of your business.

"You wouldn't happen to be a lawyer that represents landowner pipeline groups?"

No, I dislike lawyers as much as the next guy (you of course being the next guy). 

"Its not like this discussion has gotten under your thick gas professional skin or anything!"

No, I just don't like bullies, that's all.

"Again Peon Dexter, I clearly said a junior lawyer/paralegal being paid $50/hr BY THE FIRM, not the landowner.  As such, the FIRM is still making a tidy profit when the landowner pays by the hour."

The implication seemed to indicate that landowners could expect a bill for $50/hr.  Sorry if I misinterpreted what you meant.

"Sure hope Peon's gas profession doesn't include reading or math, because he/she ("I just don't like bullies") might not be qualified or overpaid."

Obvious Bully is obvious.  Let's all pause and soak in the surprise.  But please, tell us more about things entirely unrelated to this conversation.

Don't know any Marcus Green.  Can't help you.  Also don't know too many attorneys.  I'd like to keep it that way, frankly.

E Johnson, aren't you a lawyer for the same firm that owns WRP Energy?
WRP Energy that came around in 2010-11 and leased people in Richland and Ashland counties for $10 and then sold the leases to Devon Energy for thousands?

I just wanted to add a few thoughts about the Rover pipeline. Landowners, remember to set a timeline for completion. For example, one year from when you sign. Also, get it in writing that you are only negotiating for one pipeline. I know they said only one line, but this protects you just in case. With an access road, make sure that the road is repaired and gravel is spread on it (get that in writing). Any little thing that concerns you, make sure you have it documented. I've dealt with these people many times and I know how they operate.
