Pipeline

Our team of veteran pipeline specialists excel at acquiring right-of-way for pipeline projects. Over 40 years, we’ve leased over 10,000 miles of right-of-way and worked for all of the major pipeline operators. Whether it’s transmission or distribution, FERC-regulated or intrastate, our time-tested process and relentless focus on getting results makes Doyle a sought-after vendor for every type of pipeline project.

We provide our services for all types of pipeline products, including natural gas, oil, hydrogen, ammonia, liquified natural gas, CO2, and water. If it flows through a pipe, we can help you acquire the easements for it.

Sample Maps

FOR PIPELINE

Our Geographic Information System (GIS) technology significantly streamlines the pipeline right-of-way process.

Acquisition Status

This layer allows us to easily visualize where we are having success and where we need to make more progress in the negotiation and acquisition process.

Exhibit Map

Within this system, we can quickly produce high-quality exhibit drawings to share with landowners as a reference for easement location.

Tract Information

We use this system to visualize target areas and quickly identify high-priority parcels based on proximity to a substation, transmission line, or other point of interconnection.

Public Outreach

In this view, we can visualize any relevant information about key political stakeholders with whom we need to engage for project approval.
