WTI Crude Oil

The Center Square (Nov. 10, 2021) – President Joe Biden’s nominee for the comptroller of the Currency, Saule Omarova, said she wants to bankrupt smaller players in the natural gas, oil and coal industries to help reverse climate change.

Omarova, a Cornell University law professor, said in a Jain Family Institute’s Social Wealth Seminar in February that “a lot of the smaller players in the oil and gas and coal industry will probably go bankrupt in the short order, or at least we want them to go bankrupt if we want to tackle climate change.”

Omarova’s nomination has been criticized by Republicans and business groups who say she is extreme, particularly when it comes to her views on the oil and gas industry.

Carlsbad Current Argus (November 3, 2021) – New federal controls on methane emissions from oil and gas operations were championed by environmental groups in New Mexico as needed, aggressive action to mitigate manmade pollution and induced climate change. But, industry leaders said burdensome regulations could stymie American energy production and force the nation to rely on foreign sources such as from Russia or the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

EPA Oil & Gas Methane Rule Will Impact Small Producers

EPA Proposes New Source Performance

IPANM (Nov. 1, 2021) – The first of the state’s two Methane rules went into effect on May 25th, however, some new recordkeeping requirements kick-in over the next few months, and holdover Agreed Compliance Orders (ACOs) will need to be addressed by operators who filed for deadline extensions.

Due to the many different, new requirements for operators, IPANM will hold a New Mexico Oil Conservation Division Methane Rule Training Seminar on Wednesday morning, Nov. 10, 2021 beginning at 8:30 a.m. in Roswell at Daniels Leadership Center at New Mexico Military Institute.

IPANM will also hold a second, similar Training Seminar on Friday morning, Nov. 12, 2021 beginning at 8:30 a.m. in Farmington at Merrion Oil & Gas.

This will be a comprehensive seminar that should help small operators and compliance officers navigate the new OCD rules. To cover the costs of the seminar, IPANM will charge a $50 fee for members and $125 for non-members. Please click on the link below to register for this important seminar:

INFORMATION & REGISTRATION LINK

IPANM (Oct. 29, 2021) — Freshman New Mexico State Representative Ryan Lane (R – District 3 – San Juan County) of Aztec says the Oil & Gas industry exists to help improve life, and is encouraging all operators to take that message to the public. Lane made the comments during Friday’s San Juan Basin 100th Anniversary Energy Conference in Farmington at San Juan College. Lane’s poignant address challenged oil operators to change the narrative regarding the oil & gas industry.

“You are not the enemy of the poor and underserved. Instead, you are the ally of the poor and underserved. Natural gas is one of the cheapest ways to heat your home. That translates into more money for groceries and other basic necessities. You should be proud of that.” — Rep. Ryan Lane (R)

At IPANM’s request, Rep. Lane has provided a copy of his remarks for all to read. Our thanks to Rep. Ryan Lane for his strong support of Oil & Gas in New Mexico.

Rep. Ryan Lane’s Oct. 29, 2021 Remarks

Pinon Post (October 28, 2021) – An extreme proposal that died in the 2021 Legislative Session is back for the 2022 30-day Legislative Session. Far-left members of the New Mexico House of Representatives and Senate proposed a bill, S.J.R. 3, that would change Article Two of the state’s constitution to add “environmental rights.”

The Most Extreme Proposed Assault on NM Oil & Gas Returning At 2022 Legislative Session

Albuquerque Journal (October 15, 2021) – The New Mexico State Land Office is proposing a rule that would require state trust land lessees to submit an archaeological survey before starting projects like building pipelines or roads or drilling for oil and natural gas. State Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard said the rule would codify protections for sensitive cultural resources, compared to a policy or practice that could be undone by future administrations.

State Wants to Require Archaeological Surveys

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) October 5, 2021 — Top officials with the largest Native American tribe in the United States are renewing a request for congressional leaders to hold a field hearing before deciding on federal legislation aimed at limiting oil and gas development around Chaco Culture National Historical Park.

The Navajo Nation has struggled for years with high poverty rates and joblessness, and the tribe’s legislative leaders say individual Navajo allottees stand to lose an important source of income if a 10-mile (16-kilometer) buffer is created around the park as proposed. They’re calling for a smaller area of federal land holdings to be made off limits to oil and gas development as a compromise to protect Navajo interests.

Western Energy Alliance (October 5, 2021) – The budget reconciliation bill before Congress would, if passed with all the public lands provisions, drive oil and natural gas producers off federal lands in Colorado and across the West to other areas of the country or overseas. If passed as-is, it would achieve the President’s goal of “no federal oil.”

The dozens of policies put forward in the name of climate change may sound good to some. But does anyone think for a moment that reducing oil and natural gas produced in America is going to reduce their use overall?

Albuquerque Journal (October 2, 2021) – The New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board on Friday concluded a two-week hearing on proposed regulations to address oil and natural gas pollution that contributes to high ozone levels. Ozone can cause smog and respiratory issues. The air pollution has worsened across New Mexico in recent years, including in the state’s oil basins.
