PIPELINE EASEMENTS

The Permian Basin is well known for its oilfields. Midland is in the center of the basin and thus the oil industry. Oil companies will obtain legal easements that allow them to access your property to build and maintain a pipeline. Easements may force you to comply with them because they are legal documents but that does not mean you are left with no options. You can petition the court to rescind the easement or alter it in some way. This process is difficult to do on your own. Our oil and gas attorney can help you navigate the process and ensure that it goes as smoothly as possible.

• Protect Your Rights: You have many rights when an oil company tries to take your land or a part of it for a pipeline. Most people do not know the law regarding these easements, which is why lawyers exist. We devote our lives to studying specific areas of law. Our attorney is an expert in oil and gas law and can help protect your rights when it comes to eminent domain concerns.

• Just Financial Compensation: When your property is being taken to build an oil or gas pipeline, you are entitled to financial compensation. You should be given the fair market value of the property being taken. However, you should be compensated for moving costs as well. Unfortunately, these private companies will try to lowball you and not give you the true worth of your property and relocation costs.

• Identifying Legal Errors: If there is a procedural error during the taking of your property, you may be able to challenge it. However, without legal expertise, you may not know what a procedural error is. That is what our lawyer can do for you.
