Pipeline companies are not drilling companies. One is a producer, and one is a transporter. The latter negotiate drilling rights; the former negotiate right of way.
You may not have intended it, but you sound like one of those people who just say "the oil company" when referring to everything from the well to the pump. This isn't Mexico (or Venezuela, or Saudi,...)
It matters because ignorance of how these things work means that people who have nothing to do with an issue at hand get painted with a broad brush as being complicit. Eminent domain issues are controversial enough without mixing in incomplete information.

Dude. I seriously DGAF about the industry. it is completely irrelevant to my point. we could be talking about the sewing industry and what I said stands. Private property rights are private property rights. ROW, drilling rights, access rights, mineral rights, any other kind of use of another person's property should require an uncoerced contractual agreement between two consenting parties.

It literally doesn't matter at all.
edit: but thanks for the info in all seriousness.
