WMRU No. 8 will recover reserves that are not accessible to existing development wells. 3. An exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) for the WMRU No. 8 development oil well is consistent with sound engineering and geoscience principles and will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights of adjoining or nearby owners.
