Oil and natural gas are produced in southeast and northwest New Mexico from eight of New Mexico's thirty-three counties. In southeast New Mexico, production is from the Permian Basin, which includes parts of Lea, Eddy, Chaves, and Roosevelt counties. The New Mexico part of the Permian Basin includes the Central Basin Platform, the Northwest Shelf, and the deep-marine Delaware Basin. In northwest New Mexico, production is from the San Juan Basin, which includes parts of San Juan, Rio Arriba, McKinley, and Sandoval countries. Exploration activities for oil and gas in New Mexico are discussed.
