Answer by  patti (29325)

The bankruptcy attorney is the best source of information regarding this matter. If you are not clear, consult with your lawyer.

In an oil and gas lease, the lessor should have stipulated that there would be no surface work done and no surface damage to the property, This means that your surface rights are being upheld and your property would not be harmed by any digging or drilling.

I really can't tell you much. This is covered under "riparian rights". You need to consult the company, who will be biased, or better yet, an objective attorney.

The pipline company owns the area directly beneath (or above) the pipline. Usually they own the area on each side of it, usually 50 to 100 yards. This is their private property, do not trespass.
