From another story:

* New Mexico’s rig count climbed above 80 in February, up from just 15 rigs statewide in June 2016. Each rig employs about 50 people directly, plus 50 to 70 more in support jobs.

*About two-thirds of all rigs are operating in Lea County, which is now the No. 1 oil producing county in all of the Permian Basin, and No. 3 nationwide after Weld County in Colorado and Kern County in California.

That Fulfer feller is making out like a bandit. He just sells frac water. Probably has a disposal well on the other side of the road.

NM needs to ask Texas how to get rid of the state income tax.

We're gonna need a bigger refinery.

Maybe without the EPA stranglehold expansion and upgrades can proceed.
