Harvesting Gratitude: A Holiday Thank You to New Mexico's Oil and Gas Workforce

As 2024 comes to a close, I want to extend my sincerest thanks to all of the hardworking men and women in New Mexico's oil and gas industry. Your dedication and tireless efforts are the driving force behind our state's economic prosperity and energy security. This year brought both challenges and triumphs, and through it all, your commitment to powering our communities never wavered.

Thank you for all that you do. Wishing you and your families a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year.
