Oil & Gas in New Mexico

NMOGA History

Founding of NMOGA

Originally founded at the "New Mexico Oil Men's Protective Association", NMOGA dates back to the early days of oil and natural gas in the 1920s.

Border to border

Since the mid-1900s, the oil and gas industry has boomed in New Mexico. Pipelines cross from corner to corner, and about 1/3rd of counties currently produce oil and/or natural gas.

The industry today

The industry, and New Mexico, has seen its share of booms and busts. But today, we support 134,000 jobs - approximately 15% of the state's population - and 49% of the state's annual budget.
