Full text

BLM may require you to follow a well spacing program if we determine that it is necessary for proper development. If we require well spacing, we will consider the following factors when we set well spacing: (a) Hydrologic, geologic, and reservoir characteristics of the field, minimizing well interference; (b) Topography; (c) Interference with multiple use of the land; and (d) Environmental protection, including ground water.
