Comments: This facility maintains an up-to-date collection of subsurface data for New Mexico, with emphasis on oil and gas, but it has significant collections of coal and uranium data as well. It also maintains up-to-date field and pool maps, organized by stratigraphic unit, for all oil and gas pools in New Mexico. It also has a collection of sample logs, biostratigraphic data, production data, legal descriptions of fields and pools, etc. In addition, there is source rock data on approximately 100 wells in New Mexico. The Library is part of the DOE/PTTC Petroleum Resource Center at New Mexico Tech.
