The place for shale landowners, mineral rights owners and others to meet.
Welcome to our friendly online forum for mineral rights owners and others who may be interested in oil and gas drilling. Note: No advertising or solicitations please.
We were recently approached for land easement for gas pipeline. Have been reading articles.
Has anyone out there had any experience with this?

I'm located in South Texas, where prices range anywhere from $10 to $20 per foot. Last year we received $15 per foot for a pipeline easement and our lawyer negotiated certain conditions into the lease such as mowing and re-seeding after construction. I suggest you speak with an attorney in your area before signing anything. Pipeline companies can try and use eminent domain, (especially in the case of interstate pipelines,) though that is usually a last resort after negotiations with the landowner fail. Although a pipeline can devalue your property, (since you cannot build anything, develop that part of your land, etc) and because the easement remains on your deed as long as the lease is in effect,) but it can be a win - win deal if you get enough compensation to offset those aspects.

Here is a link to the part of Texas Railroad Commission's website where you can search W2 or well completion information.

(The API gravity can indicate what "window" of the Eagle Ford Shale play you are in, such as oil vs. condensate.) To narrow down search results, enter the county you are interested, then the operator and…

We received are DOs yesterday!!! Do you all suggest we get a lawyer to look them over? We can also use some advice in exactly how to invest money and who to turn to for help. This totally new to us and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

There appears to be a lot of controversy about Eagle Ford being a shale or not? Is it and if not, why not?
Thank you

Dry gas acreage owners; there are some rays of hope out there on the horizon when it comes to seeing drilling or leasing activity on your property.
Not everyone has written off natural gas as an investment. It just so happens to be a big part of Warren Buffett's portfolio in addition to his railroad stock. Major railroad companies, such as Burlington Northern, (which Buffett purchased in '09,) believe strongly in a vision of a nationwide rail system powered primarily by natural gas.…
