No hard-and-fast rule can be laid down concerning well spacing. Clearly, the more closely the wells are spaced relatively to one another the less money will have to be spent upon collective pipework, but if they are too closely sited they may interfere with one another's performance. 4, record 1, English, - well%20spacing
