Pipe Lines Leases

I have been approached by a pipe man to discuss the laying 2600 ft of pipe  3' below the surface. What is the going rate, and other concerns I should have about this endeavor?

pipe line Easements are not leases, pipe lines are forever. wide range of payments for pipeline right of ways. #1 get an atty. that knows G/O and pipeline law. one size does not fit all.

Although pipeline easements are forever under some circumstances, unless the company has eminent domain power, the landowner can exercise a lease and not an easement.

Thank you Evert, I am in Poland and my 50 acres are just north of the landfill drill pads along Hwy 224.

We need to find out who Mahoning Twp's. Solicitor is. Sounds like he must be a master of negotiation! Or did the twp. hire a gas lawyer and who is he?

Mind boggling that the pipeline co. could pay out such a staggering sum per foot to this one entity and peanuts in comparison to the other landowners.

If you work out a lease for a set number of years, say 10-15 years, then the one time payment is a good thing. If you work out a license agreement, it can be an annual payment with COL increases or a specific amount increased either each year or at a specified time frame. At the expiration of the agreement, you can negotiate another time frame at the going rate. Either way, giving away a nice cash payment to your neighbor isn't such a good idea. On a lease or license, you basically own the pipe once the agreement expires or the company defaults, then that pipeline could be worth a large chunk of change.

There is a lot of good information on this website regarding pipelines.  Do a search and read what other groups have discussed.  If you decide to proceed make sure you get a good O&G attorney who is familiar with easements, it is money well spent.
