As a whole, we conclude that the framework presented by the state\u2019s oil and gas industry only has the capacity to reduce 15% of methane emissions compared to the 60% reduction possible in the next five years if the state enacts nationally leading controls, such as quarterly leak inspections at all wells and associated equipment and replaces pneumatic pumps and controllers with &#8220;low&#8221; or &#8220;no-bleed&#8221; technologies. These requirements have all been implemented by leading oil and gas regulators and found unequivocally to be cost effective at driving significant reductions in methane pollution and waste from the oil and gas industry.<\/p>\n<p>These results again underline the inadequacy of NMOGA\u2019s proposal that, if adopted, would constitute the weakest methane regulations in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who wins and who loses under weak methane standards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because capturing methane can generate revenue for the state, we also looked at the economic impacts of the different policy scenarios. Under the most comprehensive scenario, we found that by 2030 New Mexico could earn over $730 million in additional revenue to go toward critical state needs like education funding. Under the industry\u2019s proposed model New Mexico would see significantly smaller returns, about $180 million \u2014 or about one-quarter of the savings under more robust standards.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2019\/07\/NM__graphic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19386\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2019\/07\/NM__graphic-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2019\/07\/NM__graphic-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2019\/07\/NM__graphic-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2019\/07\/NM__graphic-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We also looked at potential risks and benefits to the vulnerable communities living near the oil and gas fields. The pollution that leaks from oil and gas equipment contains harmful pollutants that can exacerbate asthma and cause cancer. Populations living close to these oil and gas facilities, particularly young children and the elderly, are at much greater risk for these health impacts. For example, there are nearly 9,000 children under the age of five living in San Juan County (home to New Mexico\u2019s infamous <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/2017\/06\/15\/new-study-confirms-again-new-mexicos-methane-hot-spot-largely-tied-to-oil-and-gas-pollution\/\">methane hot spot<\/a>) and over 78% of these young kids live within one mile of an active oil or gas well. In Southeastern New Mexico the numbers are equally striking: 80% of young children in Eddy County and 68% in Lea County also live within one mile of a well. Environmental policies that help reduce 60% of industry\u2019s pollution, as opposed to just 15%, would therefore make a big difference to these families.<\/p>\n<p>Learn about pollution impacts in your county <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/nm-oil-gas\/map\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deploying methane standards where they\u2019re needed most<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The good news is that earlier this year, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham directed her administration to work collaboratively with stakeholders across the state to develop nationally leading rules to fix the state\u2019s methane problem. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.env.nm.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/060719-NMED-EMNRD-task-force-update-.pdf\">Community meetings<\/a> kick off early next week in Farmington, Albuquerque and Carlsbad to hear input as the state develops these rules.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear we have the data and tools we need to reduce methane pollution and protect New Mexico\u2019s most vulnerable communities. There\u2019s a clear path forward on sensible methane policy that delivers significant reductions in harmful pollution and increases in state revenue, it\u2019s up to the state, the oil and gas companies and all of us impacted by oil and gas pollution to take it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b9Future methane emissions levels based on projections from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rystadenergy.com\/\">Rystad Energy<\/a>, a leading industry analytics firm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jon Goldstein and Hillary Hull A new EDF analysis reveals that, over the next five years, New Mexico policymakers have the opportunity to eliminate up to 60% of methane emissions stemming from the oil and gas industry by implementing a suite of nationally leading controls.
