BACKTechnological advancements with fracking and elsewhere in the oil and gas industry have made it possible to significantly reduce the environmental footprint of extracting minerals.
More affordable energy: fracking has helped New Mexico producers unlock multitudes of previously inaccessible resources, providing families with affordable energy, made in New Mexico.
Less surface area: the average land area required per well today is a fraction of the previous size just a few decades ago and thanks to drilling advancements and fracking, wells have many times more access to resources underground.
Fewer wells: operators can drill fewer wells to access resources that once required multiple wells in the same area.
Responsible water use: operators now use water recycling systems to dramatically reduce freshwater consumption and reuse produced water for fracking and other operations.
