Abstract: At present, the legal nature of the right of underground passage of oil and gas pipelines in China is unclear, which leads to constant disputes between oil and gas enterprises and land owners in practice, and brings great obstacles to the construction and maintenance of oil and gas pipelines in China. It is necessary to recognize the legal nature of pipeline underground passage right in law in order to protect pipeline safety and the development of oil and gas industry, to ensure future land exploitation and pipelines construction and maintenance, and to clarify rights and obligations of the concerned parties. Easement is the best way to solve the disputes over the right of pipeline underground passage of oil and gas. We should think carefully about the easement system, give full play to the legal value of the easement system to make up for the deficiency of the current easement system, and promote better solution of the dispute of the oil and gas pipelines.

Key words: oil and gas pipeline, rights of underground passage, easement, adjacent relation, space rights
