Make your Fracking Comments

The New Mexico Oil Conservation Commission is meeting to determine future rules for fracking. You can participate in the hearing and provide oral testimony during the public comment period.

Currently, 95% of all oil and gas wells are fracked. Most oil and gas wells are fracked several times over the life of the well.

States have the authority to require disclosure.

The NM Oil and Gas Association has proposed a weak rule that only requires companies to disclose about half of the contents of fracking fluids 45 days after a fracking operation.

The Earthworks Oil & Gas Accountability Project has proposed that 1) landowners should be notified about fracking prior to the operation, 2) all fracking fluids be reported.
