Conoco-Phillips Announces Another Round of Layoffs In Northwestern New Mexico

San Juan County, New Mexico, is already reeling from an extended downturn in the oil and gas industry brought on by low energy prices. Now, the Farmington Daily-Times reports that the largest natural-gas producer in New Mexico, ConocoPhillips, will be laying off more employees as part of reductions throughout its global work force. The Daily-Times says the company already cut 65 workers in the county last October and is set to decide the number of new reductions in a few weeks.
