Do Lea County oilfield jobs follow New Mexico toilet rules?
Yes, Lea County jobsites fall under NM OSHA, New Mexico's own state plan, which is at least as strict as federal OSHA. Oil and gas extraction is the largest industry around Hobbs, so most jobsite demand across 4,391 square miles comes from pads and gas processing sites. Ask NM OSHA about your crew size before you book.

Hypothetical example
an RV camping area at the Lea County Fair
Say 150 campers stay in an RV area during the 9-day Lea County Fair & Rodeo, using it more than 8 hours a day. At 1 unit per 30 guests, 150 ÷ 30 = 5 units. Campers cook and eat on site, so 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5, rounded up to 3 hand-wash stations. The area is public, and 5% of 5 is 0.25, so the minimum of 1 wheelchair-accessible unit applies, with service during the 9 days.
Rural access
What route do your trucks take into Lea County, New Mexico?
Our trucks reach Lea County by going north on US-385 to Andrews, west on SH-176 to Eunice, then north on NM-18 toward Hobbs. Lea County covers 4,391 square miles, so lease sites can be far from those roads. Send a GPS pin, the operator name and gate codes with every Lea County order.
- Eunice is our first Lea County town on SH-176, so mention if your site is near it.
- Use New Mexico road numbers, like NM-18 and NM-176, in directions so the driver doesn't mix them up with Texas routes.
- Lovington sits at 3,918 feet on the Llano Estacado, higher than Odessa.
- Gas plants often need check-in, so send site safety rules with your order.
