Permian Basin’s Stacked Formations = More Oil & Gas

The Permian Basin in West Texas encompasses nearly 50 counties across western Texas and eastern New Mexico. It is the premier, legacy oil and gas field in America. But the Permian has a unique geologic characteristic that most other fields don’t: Multiple formations stacked on top of each other. Names like Wofcamp, Sprayberry, Yates, Bone Springs, Bell Canyon, Cisco, Strawn and Atoka. All oil producing zones in the Permian Basin. This video shows you animation of how these stacked formations appear under the surface and how each can be isolated and fractured individually, producing more pay zones from one vertical wellbore.

Video Transcript:

This is some of the sprawling wide-open West Texas landscape that is the Permian Basin. The Permian spans nearly 50 counties in Texas and New Mexico and is about 250 miles wide and some 300 miles north to south.

This area has produced nearly 30-billion barrels of oil and some 75-trillion cubic feet of gas since the first well was drilled here in 1920. And, the Energy Information Administration said in twenty-14 that the Permian could hold up to 75 billion more barrels of oil in its multiple shale formations.

That’s what’s unique about the Permian – within its 3 main basins, there are multiple stacked limestone and shale formations, all historically holding abundant oil and natural gas.
