§ 3262.13   May BLM require me to follow a well spacing program?

Yes, 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 land; and

(d) Environmental protection, including ground water.
