Description
New Mexico has more than 50,000 active oil and natural gas wells in its basins in the northwestern and southeastern sections of the state. An additional 4,500 have already been plugged and abandoned. The San Juan and Permian Basins are by far the most productive. (The Permian Basin has two sub-basins, the Pecos Slope and the Delaware Basin.) The Raton Basin, which encompasses 2,200 square miles in Colfax and Taos counties and southeastern Colorado, is another small, but important contributor of coalbed methane.
