Okla. Stat. tit. 82, § 82-1020.17: Spacing rules

The Board may promulgate rules under Article I of the

Administrative Procedures Act which establish a proper spacing of

wells which, in its judgment, is necessary to an orderly withdrawal

of water in relation to the allocation, by regular permits and

temporary permits, of water to the land overlying the basin or

subbasin. The Board shall conduct at least one public hearing at a

location within or in close proximity to each major basin or

subbasin before adopting rules establishing well spacing for such

basin or subbasin.
