Can anyone advise the name of the companies doing the actual physical work of installing pipelines ? Also, as I understand it, there are payments for surface damages and it goes to whomever has custody of surface i.e. lessor if land is leased for farming etc.

49 Ranch:

1) Pipeline construction projects are typically bid out, much like road construction. There are many construction companies in the area, and the prolific nature, as well as, the increased need for pipelines to keep up with the wells being drilled can bring in bigger companies from around the country.
2) Surface damages are given to the landowner as well as the lease holder(should the property be leased). Damages go to the lease holder if the construction has damaged any crops that they may have planted. Any road, fence, and land clearing damages go to the landowner. Lease holder only gets damages specific to the crops they have planted.
Crop disturbed=lease holder
Land disturbed=landowner

Horace, is this an existing pipeline being leased or a new pipeline that is being placed on your property?

Sorry, didn't see the other responses so I assume it's new.
