New Mexico officials proposed new oilfield methane rules, including a “super emitter” program allowing certified third parties to report leaks of at least 50 kilograms per hour and requiring operators to investigate and repair them. The proposal also mandates zero-emission electric pneumatic pumps by 2031, but oil and gas leaders object to the shortened timeline.
Fishing conditions vary across New Mexico, with anglers finding mixed success for catfish, trout, largemouth bass, bluegill, and tiger muskie. Reports highlight fair to good bass fishing at Sumner Lake, strong trout action at Eagle Nest Lake, and very good bluegill and catfish catches at Navajo Lake, while other waters remain slower.
