Next New Mexico legislative session likely to bring more rules targeting oil and gas

 

New Mexico’s oil and gas industry will likely be targeted by the state’s legislature when it meets again in January.

The Carlsbad Current-Argus reported more such bills and more requests for funding against the oil and gas industry are likely in the next session.
