West Texas Oil & Gas is an oil-and-gas-producing area that makes up the majority of the Permian Basin that covers an area approximately 250 miles wide and 300 miles long and is composed of more than 7,000 fields. Other areas within the greater Permian Basin include the Delaware Basin and Midland Basin. The Delaware Basin includes significant development in the Bone Spring and Wolfcamp, together known as the Wolfbone.
