Trans Canada has a pipeline planned that will cross farmland in Jeff Davis Parish. TC is offering approximately $200 per rod as compensation. Looking for information about recent pipeline deals. Not looking to gouge TC, just want to be treated fairly.

I don't think so. It's been a few decades since pipelines were run through our farm in NELA, but I seem to remember it being a far better price than that (we were the last ones in that section they approached).

One thing I do remember from the guy who advised us though is to make sure the contract stipulates only the one pipeline so they will have to pay for any successive pipelines they run. Our contract escalates the price with each successive pipeline.

Do they have Imminent domain?

Does that $200/rod include damages or just an easement agreement?

Will the construction take place during harvesting season?

Most pipeline routes generally follow existing servitudes, if there is an alternative route to your property, this could affect your bargaining price.

Our more recent deals were for industrial gases such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Praxair, Inc. $1200 per rod Matheson Tri-Gas, $1550 per rod, Boardwalk Louisiana Mainstream ethane (a hydrocarbon ) $1200 per rod. These are a matter of public record at the Calcasieu Parish Courthouse.

I can send you a template of more favorable terms for a landowners to negotiate that are not likely on the Trans Canada boilerplate agreement.

Gillis Access is the name of that project. Lots of FERC filings if you want more info. Intrastate

The prices per rod thrown around in here are in line with current environment in LA. $700-$1200/rod if you take your time with negotiations.

I would hire an experienced attorney. Pipelines are there longer than you and possibly your children will be alive.
