Texas Oilmen Back Plan To Tighten Spacing Rules
More than 20 leaders from major and independent oil firms urged the Texas Railroad Commission to adopt proposed changes doubling well spacing to 40 acres and increasing setback from 330 to 660 feet with wells 1320 feet apart. Supporters argued tighter rules protect state energy interests and conserve resources. Some producers urged smaller adjustments, while opponents warned higher costs to small landowners and potential loss of rights. The hearing lasted over three hours with a 10 day window for written comments.
