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.
