New Mexico oil and gas boom heightens pipeline safety 

by Adrian Hedden, Carlsbad Current-Argus (Oct 23, 2019) – “’The uncertainty surrounding the safety of new pipelines underscores the need to push for pipelines to be sited, installed, tested and inspected in the best way possible, and for the regulators to ensure that is the case through strong and enforced regulations,’ read the report [by the Pipeline Safety Trust]. ‘And all of this only works well when the public has the ability to be involved in the process and has access to the information needed to understand and review all aspects of pipeline safety. We still have a long way to go.’”
