Capture Point's Red River Pipeline will supply CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).  I have been told the company will seek state approval for eminent domain authority in Natchitoches, Sabine, Red River, Bienville, Webster and Claiborne parishes.

Eminent domain is the power of the government to seize private property for public use without the owner's consent, provided it pays just compensation.

Does the SONRIS map show the proposed path of the pipeline

Yes, it does.  My sneaking suspicion is that this is a main line and that spurs may be extended off of it to include more old, largely depleted oil fields.  Seems like a huge expense for just the couple of fields mentioned in S AR.

Regardless, I am totally against eminent domain.

I am also.  That is why we need to follow the Blue Wave and elected Democrats and Independents to state office.  The current administration will rubber stamp anything and everything that big business puts in front of them.

Are eminent domain decisions done at state level? Or parish level? 

The City of Shreveport has exercised eminent domain in the past.
Eminent domain (known as expropriation in Louisiana) is not exclusively a state-level decision. 
    • State and Local Authority: Both the state government and its political subdivisions, including parishes and local municipalities, can exercise the power of expropriation for a valid public purpose.
  • Judicial Oversight: Takings must be approved or challenged through formal court proceedings filed in the district court of the parish where the property is located, rather than being enacted purely as a unilateral state executive decision. 
  • Constitutional Limitations: Under Article I, Section 4 of the Louisiana Constitution and subsequent constitutional amendments, property can only be taken for a public and necessary use, and private property cannot be seized for private economic development.
