I am in Oklahoma and own surface and minerals in the same tract. My Lessee wants to lay a flow line for the water and pay $35.00 per rod. Is that reasonable for pasture land?
Are you asking about a temporary water line - such as for a few weeks - or a permanent water line? Is it carrying fresh water for a frac or produced water being transported to an injection well? Your post says water injection well. Temporary fresh water line is usually laid on the surface for a short period and would be lower priced than a permanent line. The agreement should specify the dates for the line. If it is permanent or carrying produced water, then you would want it buried so it does not interfere with your surface use. You would definitely want a detailed long-term surface use agreement, including indemnity and damages, for anything other than a temporary fresh water line.
