Midland Basin Overview

Permian Basin, also called West Texas Basin, large sedimentary basin in western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, U.S., noted for its rich petroleum, natural gas, and potassium deposits. The Permian Basin is made up of three component parts: the eastern Midland Basin, the Central Basin Platform, and the western Delaware Basin. The Midland Basin is in the eastern Permian Basin and is within Texas’s borders.

During the last decade, hydrocarbon exploration and production in the Midland Basin were driven by development of the organic-rich, lower permeability units within the Wolfcamp and Spraberry formations. The primary counties that make up the Midland Basin includes Borden, Dawson, Martin, Midland, Upton, Reagan, Glasscock, Andrews, Crane, Gaines, Ector, Terry, Lynn, Howard and Irion counties.
