LAS CRUCES - A bill that would have set new standards for the use of water in oil and gas production was killed on a unanimous vote Monday, Feb. 15, in the New Mexico Senate Judiciary Committee.
Sponsor Sen. Antoinette Sedillo Lopez, D-Albuquerque, said Senate Bill 86 was needed to hold the oil and gas industry responsible for the damage it causes.
“Under current law, it is a violation not to report, but it is not a violation to have a spill,” she said. “So, there is no incentive to stop spillage.”
Sedillo Lopez said in 2020 a New Mexico family was awakened in the night by an oil rig explosion that resulted in their land being drenched by what is called produced water – underground brackish waters high in saline content that are brought to the surface during oil and gas drilling. Now, nothing will grow on that land, she said.
