The federal government’s 60-day suspension of new oil and gas leasing and drilling permits on public lands sent shockwaves through the industry in New Mexico and divided industry experts over potential impacts.
“It’s very much putting politics above science,” said Ryan Flynn, president and CEO of the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association.
Members of the oil and gas industry and economic experts are weighing the potential impact of the federal government’s 60-day suspension of new ail and gas leasing and drilling permits on public lands. (Jim Thompson/Albuquerque Journal) Acting Secretary of Interior Scott de la Vega on Wednesday ordered a 60-day moratorium on new leases, drilling permits or other contracts needed to extract fossil fuels on federal lands, both onshore and offshore. The rule doesn’t affect existing permits.
Flynn said he was “disappointed” by the order after it was announced Thursday. He said he doesn’t believe the suspension would help reduce emissions, and that the order interrupts the development of infrastructure that connects new and existing wells to pipelines, forcing operators to flare methane emissions rather than recovering them.

The asked for it, they voted for it....and they got it.
But orange man bad? They’ve not seen anything yet.
Imagine being “shocked” by any of this. The only shocking things will be those where they don’t go full retard.
The snowflakes who voted for Biden are going to enjoy $5.00 per gallon gasoline.
I predict $5.00 per gallon gasoline because Biden is not only cutting off the supply of crude oil (Keystone PL shutdown, etc), Biden is also proposing higher gasoline taxes.
And that is the beginning of the new Biden Economics.
The Biden Snowflakes will also be paying more for their cornflakes as the ethanol refiners become profitable again with higher crude oil prices.
And higher corn prices mean higher beef, pork, and chicken prices.
Enjoy the next years Snowflakes, you asked for it.
I ban Ads and refuse to subscribe to fish wrap news.
I have had people explain to me that the democrats wouldn’t dare try to implement what they ran on. I’m told the moderates, Manchin and Tester, are the reasoned bulwarks and will veto the insanity. One of the morons who explained this to me this is my former financial advisor. I know, I know.
“...sent shockwaves through the industry in New Mexico...”
Nice going you filthy Taos/Sante Fe/Albuquerque democrats.
And all you soccer moms out there that were turned off by Trump's tweets - better start looking at getting a job if you are stay at home or a second job if you are working.
Gonna be a lot tougher to make ends meet in the Biden, China centric, economy
Oh yeah, better learn to love cheap, made in China, Wal Mart junk because that is all you will be able to afford soon.
The Fraud and the Ho told you what they would do and on tape. Did you retarded DemoRats not believe them? Then Xiden lied when he reversed and said he would not ban fracking and such. Yet here we are. How effn stupid so many deluded voters are plus the election fraud. Trump warned you All but you mocked and ridiculed the Orange Man. Enjoy your self inflicted pain you DemoRat morons.
If Montana is so upset about it they should vote Tester out of office.
Same goes for NM and its two Dem senators. But they’ll go Biden again in four years. Too many southern imports on the govt dole.
Elections have consequences.
That's Kakistocracy ...
Why are they complaining? They can spend more time with their families instead of slaving for a rich white guy trying to destroy the planet..
Suck it up Buttercup, YOU VOTED FOR THIS!!, Get your EBT
