Any surface owner who is damaged or threatened with damage by the neglect of the operator will have a lien upon the fixtures or equipment owned by the operator, with all oil, gas, and other hydrocarbons produced therefrom which may be run to the credit of the operator to secure payment for all damages that can be lawfully recovered under the terms of the oil and gas lease or leases covering the particular property and under which drilling operations are being undertaken by the operator. The lien shall also secure payment for any other damages that the surface owner would be entitled to recover from the operator under the laws of the State of Arkansas.
