Oil Activity Surges in New Mexico Ahead of Fall Drilling
In the past week oil activity rose sharply in New Mexico with seven new locations staked and five completions reported. Phillips Petroleum leads Cooper area development in southeastern Lea County as six new wells are added, while Repello Oil and others drill across Lea and Eddy counties. Lease sales continue in northern Lea, with hundreds of acres changing hands in recent days.
