Artesia New Mexico December 24 AP The new daily oil allowable set for the state by Interior Secretary Ickes will be allocated among 11 pools at a January meeting. The period December 17 through January allows 49 800 barrels daily an increase of 3 900 daily from the previous quota. The national oil allowable was set at 2 460 300 barrels. Producers in Santa Fe began preliminaries on a system to handle pool allocations since New Mexico has no regulator. They seek to avoid a repeat of east Texas expansion and are drafting by laws to govern state production for the operators, the state, and the federal government.
