May BLM require me to follow a well spacing program?
June 11, 2020
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.
