Two of the most prolific oil and gas basins in the United States are located in New Mexico--the San Juan Basin in the northwest corner and the Permian Basin in the southeast. BLM New Mexico holds Federal mineral lease sales four times per year. New Mexico accuses Permian Basin oil and gas operators of violating state air quality laws. Matador Resources and Mewbourne Oil Company were both issued notices of violation (NOVs) by NMED regarding facilities in the Permian Basin. The remote areas of southeastern New Mexico are experiencing unprecedented growth and economic activity as the oil and gas industry continues to explore the potential of the Permian Basin. Air pollution could be on the decline in the Permian Basin – one of the most active oil and gas plays in the world situated in southeast New Mexico and West Texas. Methane is a primary component of the natural gas extracted in the Permian and is often released when the infrastructure is not present to get the gas to market. Estimates Include 46.3 Billion Barrels of Oil, 281 Trillion Cubic feet of Natural Gas, and 20 Billion Barrels of Natural Gas Liquids in Texas and New Mexico’s Wolfcamp Shale and Bone Spring Formation. Assessment units for the Wolfcamp Shale and Bone Spring Formation of the Delaware Basin.
New Mexico has been a major producer of oil and natural gas since hydrocarbons were first discovered in the state during the early 1920's. In 2016, New Mexico produced 145 million barrels of oil, 1.27 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 97 billion cubic feet of naturally occurring carbon dioxide.
Research in producing basins, particularly the Permian Basin of southeast New Mexico and the San Where are oil and gas produced in New Mexico? Production is obtained principally from two areas: the Permian Basin of Lea, Eddy, Chaves, and Roosevelt 4 Oct 2018 In New Mexico today, the Permian Basin is the hot oil and gas play, while the San Juan Basin is fading. A decade ago, those roles were 19 Dec 2019 In 2019, the Permian Basin became the world's most productive oilfield, and New Mexico has emerged as a top oil-producing state. Oil and gas
The San Juan Basin in the Farmington area in northwestern New Mexico has traditionally produced natural gas. But low natural gas prices, coupled with logistical difficulties caused by the state’s pit rule and the now-repealed greenhouse gas rule, left operators in the San Juan Basin hesitant to drill,
27 Oct 2019 New Mexico, which is home to part of the Permian Basin, recently and gas flares lighting up the night sky, lies the epicenter of the oil boom: development and exploration of oil and natural gas properties. Concho's operations are concentrated in the Permian Basin of Southeast New Mexico and 12 Aug 2019 U.S. oil output from seven major shale formations is expected to rise by 85000 The largest change is expected in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico, That is because rig productivity - the amount of gas new wells

8 Aug 2017 operations span 6 million net acres in five states — Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming — and seven oil and gas basins.

Assessment units for the Wolfcamp Shale and Bone Spring Formation of the Delaware Basin. The basin has produced from over 300 oil fields and nearly 40,000 wells, most of which are sourced from Cretaceous-aged rocks. Furthermore, 90% of the wells have been drilled in the state of New Mexico. As of 2009, cumulative production reached 42.6 trillion cubic feet of gas and 381 million barrels of oil. History. The first documented oil play in the San Juan Basin occurred in 1911 on the Chaco Slope. The Oil Conservation Division regulates oil and gas activity in New Mexico. We gather well production data; permit new wells; enforce the division's rules and the state's oil and gas statutes; make certain abandoned wells are properly plugged; and ensure the land is responsibly restored. Here’s why New Mexico’s oil boom is raising a lot of questions about water. A pumpjack sits on the outskirts of town at dawn in January 2016 in the Permian Basin oil field near Midland, Texas.
