Right-of-Way & Surface Use
Pipeline and infrastructure projects require negotiating agreements with individual landowners — a process that demands patience, knowledge of landowner rights, and the ability to reach workable terms on a project timeline.
Services include:
- Pipeline, utility, and access easement negotiation and acquisition
- Surface use agreement (SUA) negotiation and execution using standard forms
- Road use, temporary workspace, and ingress/egress agreement negotiation
- Damage settlement and restoration agreement negotiation
- Landowner contact, relationship management, and objection resolution
- ROW plat and exhibit review
- Mineral-to-surface conflict identification in split-estate situations
- Condemnation support and coordination with legal counsel when voluntary negotiation is unsuccessful
- Permit and regulatory filing support
Projects are handled with respect for landowner concerns and a focus on reaching agreements that stick — reducing renegotiation, disputes, and project delays.
