TOTALY different, NOT a pipeline, but still an easement, a bigtime HV power transmission line was built across family property about 40 years ago.
My late Uncle had a trusted attorney look over the easement and got a clause or two added.
One had to do with a "sunset clause" as to how things would be handled if the line is ever removed or abandoned (won't affect me, but if the land stays in the family long enough, it may help an heir of mine).
Another made it clear that we were not liable if we accidentally damage a pole though the course of normal farming operations.
They readily agreed to the attorney's additions, probably because there was little chance of them costing the Co. anything vs. the potential cost of litigation and delays.
Dunno if any of that will "hold water" down the road, but it looks good on paper!
The power Co. has been really good about noting if any access/work is done that causes crop damage and pays embarrassingly well.
I would certainly suggest that you have an attorney familiar with the situation/local conditions review the easement before signing.
If there's anything that needs to be changed/can be changed in you favor it needs to be brought to light and dealt with BEFORE you sign any papers.
