Gas pricing change aims to spur new exploration in Permian Basin
The Power Commission adopted a two tier ceiling for Permian Basin gas to push new gas-well discovery. New gas well gas across Texas earns 16.5 cents per thousand cubic feet, while New Mexico gets 15.5 cents, with residue and old gas priced lower. The ruling may trigger refunds of about 30 to 35 million dollars to producers and is expected to set a pattern for other area rate cases.
