Oil and gas exploration in the Santa Fe and Hagan Embayment's of the Espanola Basin, as well as the northern Albuquerque Basin from 1972 to the present, has yielded invaluable "real rock" information about not only the stratigraphy present, but the structural fabric and history of the area. Suspected but previously unknown tectonic events are apparent in the area and can be seen on reprocessed seismic. This is particularly true across the synthetic overlapping transfer zone connecting the northern Albuquerque and the southern Santo Domingo Basins. Implications for future oil and gas exploration and the "hard" data derived by drilling, if not further impeded or stopped by excessive county regulations, are large.
