Practically speaking only what is needed for a drilling rig to fit in. Legally speaking, it depends on several factors as determined by the regulating authority which bases its requirements on engineering formulas designed to calculate how much of the surrounding subsurface area will be effectively drained by the well bore. The determining factors used in the calculations are the depth, porosity, psi, whether it is primarily an oil well or a gas well.

EzraOn average, an oil drilling site requires about 2-5 acres of land, but this can vary depending on the specific location and drilling technique being used. The exact area needed will be determined by factors such as the size of the oil field, the number of wells being drilled, and the surface infrastructure required.

How many sections in 140 acres?
There are no specific number of sections in 140 acres, as it depends on the measurement unit used for each section. For example, if each section is 1 acre, then there would be 140 sections in 140 acres.
How many acres in a 30 foot wide by half mile long section?
1.2 acres.
How many acres in 730 square miles?
1 square mile (one 'section') = 640 acres 730 square miles = (730 x 640) = 467,200 acres
HOW 1.8 area of a section equals how many acres?
1 acre is equal to 43,560 square feet. To find the area in acres from a measurement in square feet, divide the square footage by 43,560. In this case, if the area of a section is 1.8 acres, it would be equivalent to 78,204 square feet.
How many acres in 0.4 square miles?
Yards is a unit of length; acres is a unit of area. You can't convert that. Perhaps you meant square yards? Each acre has 4840 square yards.
