Oil and gas prices seen easing in coming years
The New Mexico forecast projects declines in oil and gas revenues through 2003 and 2005 with general fund receipts dropping from 655 million in 2002 to 470 million in 2005. State officials caution against a tailspin while noting steady oil output and rising natural gas production. Industry leaders push back on downturn predictions and cite potential federal land openings as a possible future boom.
