This Resource Management Plan Amendment addresses the management of oil and gas resources and use on about 2,197,000 acres in the Carlsbad Resource Area (the "planning area") where both the surface and subsurface estates are in federal ownership and are administered by the BLM (see Table 1). This Plan Amendment also presents management for an additional 1.9 million acres of federal mineral estate where the surface is managed  by other surface management agencies of the federal or New Mexico State governments, or is in private ownership. In these cases, the leasing of fluid minerals (i.e., oil and gas) is administered by the BLM. These public lands, including the mineral estate, are administered by the Bureau of land Management through its Carlsbad Resource Area Office. The Carlsbad Resource Area encompasses the "bootheel" of Chaves County and all of Eddy and Lea counties in southeastern New Mexico.  


All land and resource uses and activities in the planning area related to oil and gas resources must conform with the decisions and terms and conditions of use described in this plan amendment. These decisions and terms and conditions of use amend (replace) the management prescriptions for oil and gas in the Carlsbad Resource Management Plan (1988). All other management prescribed in the Carlsbad RMP will remain unchanged. Detailed decisions for the implementation of specific actions will be made through activity planning and environmental review that will be completed prior to the implementation of the action. Likewise, the authorization of specific uses will be predicated on conformance with planning decisions and the completion of environmental review.
