Oil Pipeline Right of Way

I don't think Canada has eminent domain like we do here in the states. As has been said you will be giving up your rights to use the land for anything that is built on the entire easement/row for life. They will be able to enter that area any time they want without notice. It will seriously downgrade the value of your property forever.

Don't accept their offer until you have gotten every penny you can suck out of them. I sold a 30' easement across my frontage to the electric company last year and I was the last one to sell out so I got more money per foot than anyone else. I also got a lot of other considerations that no one else got.

Another biggy is to lock the easement/row to the oil companies so nothing else can go in that area without having to come to you first.
