Oilfield Strong

In this episode of Oilfield Strong, Grant Swartzwelder speaks with Jim Winchester, Executive Director of the Independent Petroleum Association of New Mexico, about the association’s concerns regarding the state’s new financial-assurance and well-bonding requirements. They discuss how the requirements could affect marginal wells, independent operators, asset transfers, plugging obligations, and the businesses and communities that support oil and gas production.

The conversation also covers changes to New Mexico’s Oil and Gas Reclamation Fund under House Bill 80, the Environment Department’s proposed methane-abatement rule, and continuing debate over the treatment and reuse of produced water.

This episode is sponsored in part by Permian Basin Oil and Gas Magazine.
