Well Spacing Is Extended LANSING Oil well spacing regulations were extended to include about three tiers sections of land north of the present Albion field last week by the state oil advisory board. The addition brings regulations on drilling to north of the city limits of A Albion, but Gerald Eddy.

State Conservation Department director, said, "It is perhaps wishful thinking at this time to believe the field will extend that far north." The regulations limit drilling in that area to two wells on each 40 acres of land. "Because of the way the drilling has been shaping up, our staff felt that we should be prepared in case the field moved north so we extended the spacing reguiation," said Mr. Eddy. He said that if the field should extend to the city limits of Albion, the city could adopt its own regulations restricting wells within the city limits. The advisory board also approved setting up a 90-day order for the Boyd-St.

Clair field, allowing not more than 300,000 cubic feet of gas and 150,000 barrels of oil a day from each well. This come up for further consideration later.
