Saltwater Gathering Lines

Anyone heard of saltwater gathering lines? I've been approached to allow a 2"-4" PVC gathering line for waste saltwater across our land. Supposedely this saltwater would be collected at a central location and be recycled for frac operations at new well sites. Also the pipeline company says this will cut down on truck traffic to and from the wells. The pipeline company is also saying this is a mandate from the state to identify sites that this could be utilized. If they can recycle saltwater, I would think this a good thing since they will have less load on the SWD sites and the freshwater impact will be lessened for the upcoming HS well. Any thoughts on price per rod for these lines?

Unfortunately, a landman knocked on my elderly Dad's door and he didn't consult with me before signing. He got $300 an acre or so and otherwise bad terms.

People need to be careful when signing ANY ROW!! Sometimes you are giving the company the right to run the saltwater lines right along with the gas lines. Please be careful to realize this and put in proper protections in the lease.

Salt water gathering lines are a pretty standard thing. My company has many of its own, mostly from wells to SWD's.

PVC is used because the salt won't corrode it like steel lines.

You probally won't get much per rod. Might be worth it though to see less truck traffice. Just make sure the ROW is where you can live with it (along a road or fenceline is usually best).
