About this data
New Mexico Oil Conservation Division's pool registry, its well completions, and the volumes operators filed against the pool on form C-115, through Aug 2026. The formation, Austin, is read from the pool's name. Production and injection filed before January 1993 are in lifetime totals as the Division's totals to that date, and in no month or year. Nothing is estimated.
