Is Your Property in the Path of the CP Express Pipeline? Know Your Rights
Has Venture Global Contacted You About Your Property?
If you’ve received notice about the CP Express Pipeline Project affecting your property in Jasper County, Newton County, Texas, or Calcasieu and Cameron Parish, Louisiana, you need to understand your rights. This massive pipeline project, spanning 91.4 miles across Texas and Louisiana, will impact numerous property owners – and you may be one of them.
What is the CP Express Pipeline Project?
Venture Global is planning to construct:
- An 85.4-mile mainline pipeline from Jasper County, Texas, to Cameron Parish, Louisiana
- A 6.0-mile lateral pipeline in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana
- Associated facilities and infrastructure along the route
- A major LNG export terminal in Cameron Parish
This $1.483 billion project will require significant amounts of private property to complete, and the company may attempt to use eminent domain powers to acquire the land they need.
Your Property Rights Are At Risk
As a property owner, you should know that:
- The pipeline company may seek permanent easements across your property
- These easements can significantly restrict your use of your land
- The company’s initial offer may be well below fair market value
- You have the right to challenge both the taking of your land and the compensation offered
- Recent regulatory changes could affect how and when your property might be impacted
Don't Face the Pipeline Company Alone
When dealing with a major pipeline project like CP Express, property owners often face significant pressure to accept whatever terms are offered. But you don’t have to navigate this process alone. The Hoestenbach Law Group has extensive experience protecting landowner rights against pipeline companies, and we can help you:
- Review and understand any documents you’ve received
- Evaluate the true impact of the proposed easement on your property
- Negotiate better terms for easement agreements
- Ensure you receive fair compensation for your property rights
- Challenge the taking of your property when appropriate
- Protect your rights throughout the entire process
Current Project Status
The project is currently undergoing additional environmental review after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) set aside its previous authorization. Key dates include:
- February 7, 2025: New draft Environmental Impact Statement published
- May 9, 2025: Expected final Environmental Impact Statement
- July 24, 2025: Anticipated final FERC order
This regulatory timeline may affect property acquisition efforts, but you should be prepared to protect your rights now.
