N.M. Admin. Code § 19.14.1.6 - OBJECTIVE
A. The following
geothermal rules and regulations are of statewide application and have been
adopted by the oil conservation division of the New Mexico energy and minerals
department to conserve the natural geothermal resources of the state of New
Mexico, to prevent waste, and to protect the correlative rights of all owners
of geothermal resources. Special rules, regulations, and order may be adopted
from time to time when required for a particular geothermal resources area, and
shall prevail over the geothermal rules and regulations if in conflict
therewith. However, when these geothermal rules and regulations do not conflict
with special rules hereafter adopted, these geothermal rules and regulations
will apply.
B. The Division may
grant exceptions to these rules and regulations after notice and hearing, when
the granting of such exceptions will not result in waste but will protect
correlative rights or prevent waste.
