Spacing of Gas Wells Debated at El Dorado
The Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission heard three prepared statements and extensive testimony Tuesday on whether gas wells should follow 9640 acre spacing in Arkansas. Federal rules require 640 acre spacing. state rules allow 80 or 160 acre spacing. Industry argues wider spacing, given Arkansas formations, is impractical. Arkansas Louisiana Gas, Standard Oil, and Carter and Atlantic companies urged timely gas supply for war industry and uninterrupted crude flow to the East Coast. The company noted a pipeline from south Arkansas fields and difficulty securing gas locally without diverting war materials to build a longer line.
