The Fall of 2021 was a busy season for the team members of Walsh Engineering and Production. We participated across the San Juan Basin and New Mexico in numerous conferences, seminars, and volunteer activities. Read on for the highlights from the event celebrating 100 Years of Oil and Gas Production in the San Juan Basin and the ‘Ringing in Santa Claus’ Annual Christmas Parade.

On October 21, 2021, numerous members of the Walsh Engineering and Production team attended the Desk and Derrick Club of Farmington event celebrating 100 Years of Oil and Gas Production in the San Juan Basin. Red Walsh, the founder of Walsh Engineering was honored for his valuable contributions and significance to the Oil and Gas Industry in the San Juan Basin.

During the event, a video detailing the history of oil and gas in the San Juan Basin was presented. This 12 minute video, courtesy of the Desk and Derrick Club of Farmington, highlighted the beginnings of the oil and gas industry in 1921, explained the booms and busts in subsequent decades, and explains the current outlook for the area. It also details the contributions of members of the oil and gas industry to the growth and prosperity of the Four Corners Area.

We encourage you to visit it!

On December 2, 2021, members of the Walsh team volunteered and handed out 4000 sleigh bells along the Annual Christmas Parade route. The theme of this year’s parade was ‘Ringing in Santa Claus’ and was hosted by the Farmington Chamber of Commerce.
