Wellsite Design Spacing Recommendations

The purpose of Industry Recommended Practice (IRP 20) Wellsite Design Spacing Recommendations is to provide guidelines on wellsite size and spacing. Specifically, this IRP aims to provide a set of best practices that will ensure consistent and legal lease size information for typical Drilling, Completions, and Production Facilities in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the North West Territories, and Nunavut. Another objective of the IRP is to ensure that consistent provincial spacing requirements are followed when a lease is being designed.
