Teacher Appreciation Week
NMOGA Celebrates Teacher Appreciation Week
Education is the foundation of strong and thriving communities, and NMOGA is deeply committed to supporting students, teachers, and schools across the state.
New Mexico’s oil and gas industry plays a vital role in funding education. Our industry contributes billions of dollars through state revenues to public schools, higher education institutions, and scholarships. Beyond financial support, NMOGA and Powering New Mexico’s Future, our partner organization, actively partner with educators and organizations to enhance educational opportunities.
This Teacher Appreciation Week, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the educators who inspire, challenge, and uplift our students. Their dedication makes all the difference, and we’re honored to play a part in building a brighter future alongside them!

El Palacio Magazine Features Hall of Ancient Life Exhibit Funded by NMOGA Foundation
Earlier this year, the Hall of Ancient Life at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science opened, showcasing more than 500 million years of geologic and fossil history in New Mexico. Many fossils in the exhibit are from the Permian Period—the era that gave the Permian Basin its name, now one of the world’s most prolific oil and gas regions.
The exhibit was recently featured in El Palacio magazine, sharing an in-depth look at the fossils, science, and stories behind the exhibit. 👉 Read More
