I have family in Miss. that was recently paid $3 per foot which would equate to $49.50 per rod. The $3 per foot was for each pipe. If your offer was for more that one pipe, be sure the price per rod is for each pipe.

There is another discussion on here where someone was offered $200.00 per rod. I will try and find it and post the info here. I don't know if this guy that received the $200 offer is close to where you are but I will try and find it. His username on here is Parker and the Discussion is entitled Are they not done ripping us off. It is about pipeline rates.

Hi Adubu,

I was offered $25 per rod for a road r/w. The gas company has now agreed to pay $200 per rod.

Look at the other threads on surface damages.

Also decide whether this will impact your property or not. If you have timber, you cannot have it on the pipeline (or anything else for that matter).

I had a pipeline come through my property in the past. Initially, I had a problem because they put it in a different location than what we had agreed upon (JW Operating). But I have to say that after it was all said and done, it didn't impact my property that much.

I want to work with the companies not against them. If they are not successful, we will not be either. But by the same token, I will not be taken advantage of.

Some post on here are utterly ridiculous. They want 100% and none of the risks or investments involved.

Weigh the cost vs. the benefit to you. If you can make a couple of thousand dollars for something that won't impact your property much, go for it. If on the other hand, you are being pressured and manipulated and not offered fair compensation, then tell them to look elsewhere.

But also be knowledgeable about what you lease says. You may have already given them the right to lay the pipeline. More than likely your lease covers this. Reasonable compensation for that right is what any of us should expect.

I will also keep posted as I negotiate my road r/w.

GOOD LUCK

just finished negotiating a pipeline on my property. offered 100.00 a rod plus fair market price for timber lost. after speaking with attorney i learned eminent domain cannot be used by gas company unless its an interstate pipeline. i declined the pipeline and was approached again with an alternate route. refused again and 1 month later called again about another pipeline survey.

I'm still interested in this....what about eminent domain? Is this not for natural gas users? & not for companies drilling a well? Also this per rod price is this a one time sale? sounds cheap to me if it is....don't have well or lease right now...not in hurry but have pipeline & eminent domain rights from 18 years ago...I;m in disagreement with neighboring relatives as to what this pipeline means...

You might think about adding a clause to remediate the land after pipeline is put in.

P/L company should pay for damage to your property.

At $200.00 per rod and damages its still cheap. You will never use the land over the pipeline again but to grow grass. If you planted in pine trees it would grow $5-$6000.00 income per acre every 20 years. Are you going to give the pipeline company this 2-300.00 dollars per acre every year ? What about taxes? mine run about $2.00 per acre yr ? Will you pay taxes 20 or 30 years for this small one time payment? All this adds up when you get 20 acres of pipeline under your property.
The Oil and Gas /pipeline company's make enough money without land owners subsidies.
A year rental of 300.00 per acre..... just to break even.
See this thread on Roasways and pipelines for more input.
