In Hobbs, New Mexico, the oil and gas industry’s pulse continues to race. Hobbs is the largest city in Lea County, and Lea County continues to be the top oil-producing county in the U.S. as of 2023.

While rich resources are a natural draw, Hobbs also boasts access to a well-connected transportation system, and an eager labor force that has over four generations of training in the oil and gas industry.

All of these assets have generated major investments from local, national and global energy companies ranging from drilling to production to more than 400 oilfield service operations.
