I am getting a pad on my place. A pipeline contractor working for Eclipse is going to put a pipeline from the wells to a gathering line.  There will be three pipelines in the same easement--a natural gas line, a water line, and a condensate line.  The natural gas line will be 6".  They want to give me $15 a foot.  Is this enough or I do I go for more?  I am dropping the stuff off to my attorney today, but I wanted to get some input from any of you.

You can get more than $15 per foot.  Don't settle for their first offer.  If the pad's on your land, there's no getting around a pipeline across your property so they'll pay a lot more.  I've heard of people getting $30-$60 per foot.

Where are you located I know some who got 30 a foot. Make sure you get a good attorney to look it over as my neighbors found out

In Londonderry township. Just trying to get an idea of what to ask.

First, I know pipelines are needed so I won't Bitch much  but after seeing once their done they pack up and its impossible to get ahold of someone to fix the roads.They are horrible and have been for 10 months and won't fix them,  So if I was ever gonna consider it , it would have to be alot of money at least 50 $ a foot for every line and so much per year ..

s60.00 a foot

How wide is the Right-Of-Way they want? It will often be two widths, one for the workspace while installing it, and a narrower width PERMANENTLY, as long as the pipeline exists. How much extra temporary workspace beside the ROW will they be needing to use? You need to know this to calculate exactly how much land you are giving up. What is currently on that land? If wooded, how much is the timber worth (present and future value)? If crops, will you still be able to produce them in the future, and if not, what is the lost income value there for the forseeable future? Does this land have ANY future development potential and how much will the ROW diminish that? You won't ever be able to build within X feet of the pipeline so consider that when you decide if and where to ALLOW this on your property. This is just the tip of the iceberg of things that you need to consider before ever putting a dollar value to a Pipeline ROW agreement.

Do NOT give location approval UNTIL all issues have been resolved.

Do NOT walk any proposed lines until all issues have been dealt with.

Remember, they have the right (via assignment) to put that line in on you,

particularly if you have a pad.

Terms and conditions are as important as the loot.

You are, for all intents and purposes, permanently ceding that land for the intended use.
