NEW MEXICO HAS MOVED UP TO THIRD IN OIL PRODUCTION AMONG THE 50 STATES…SURPASSING OKLAHOMA AND CALIFORNIA IN THE LATEST REPORT FROM THE U.S. ENERGY INFORMATION AGENCY. ROBERT MCENTYRE WITH THE NEW MEXICO OIL AND GAS ASSOCIATION SAYS THIS IS DUE TO INCREASED PRODUCTION IN THE PERMIAN BASIN, ALONG THE NEW MEXICO-TEXAS BORDER.
MCENTYRE SAYS INCREASED OIL PRODUCTION TRANSLATES INTO MORE MONEY FOR STATE GOVERNMENT. NEW MEXICO IS ALSO NINTH IN NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION NATIONWIDE.
