The Permian Basin of West Texas and southeast New Mexico is about 400 km from east to west and 480 km from north to south. It is one of the great continental basins of the United States, the southernmost of the Williston, Michigan, Illinois, Anadarko, and Permian basins. This basin is an important contributor to the strength of the US economy. Today, at around 2 million barrels of produced oil per day, the Permian Basin accounts for over 20% of US oil production. In spite of its importance, most people are unaware of the basin and its significance to the US economy.
Geologists separate the Permian Basin into five subregions: NW shelf, Central Basin Platform, Delaware Basin, Midland Basin, and Val Verde Basin. This basin architecture is hidden beneath a relatively flat arid region, where few people live (UAV + Google Earth). Up to 8,000 m or 5 miles of sediment fills the basin (18 times higher than Empire State Building). Most of the sediments in the Permian Basin were deposited in Paleozoic time, from Cambrian to Permian, or from about 530 to 250 million years ago.
If the basin is filled with Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Mississippian, Pennsylvanian, and Permian sediments, then why do we call is the Permian Basin? Perhaps it is because it contains one of the world’s thickest deposits of Permian sediments (Go to the cross-section). Permian sediments occupy about half the basin fill. Permian-age reservoirs also contain the majority of trapped oil within the basin.

Great start! Hungry now for lots more information! Thank you!
Very nice overview!! Congrats
You get a strange list when you look up Sedimentary basins of North America in Wikipedia. It does include the Permian basin but not some of the other basins in this video and it does not include the Great Basin
Thank you! I live in the Permian Basin LoL
Haha, hope this video helped you know more about your hometown's 'history'
Fantastic overview.
Nice overview! Thanks!
Thanks! Kristopher, we are glad that you enjoy it
Great Video! Very detailed information and graphs! Two comments I think that might help:1, the sounds is a little weak, not sure if that is my problem or the video; 2, when talking about volume or size like 2 M barrel per day, it would be better to show some comparison, like equivalent to Mexico (by 2016). For most people, they have no idea what 2 M barrels per day means. Anyway, looking forward to see more of this kind of videos!
Tim Tian Thanks a lot for your comments and sharing your thoughts. You are right about the sound, we noticed that as well, although difficult people do have different opinions on that point. And more comparisons is a good idea. Thanks, and we would make more and better scientific videos.
Great video! Helped me a lot. One suggestion: You did a great job showing the cross sectional development of the basin as the time-line moved from Cambrian to Mississippian (showing little slivers deposited as the arrow on the time-line moved). It would have been great to do the same for the Permian. It seemed to just jump to showing some deposition of strata over the Central Basin uplift, with a sudden doubling of sediment thickness, topped by very thick evaporite sequence. Maybe also adding a reference line showing the base of the Permian in the developing cross section would be good as a reference. Thank you for the video!
Thanks! Evan, great advice, and we agree totally. In the future, we probably would make more videos about the sediments in this basin and its basement rocks too. So we would improve the Permian depositional history at that time. Appreciate your kind words and advice!
@@UTDGeoscienceStudios It's true that nowadays geologists thinks that the Permian Basin holds roughly as much oil as all the middle east?
@@Brandon_letsgo Nope, as far as I know, middle east probably has much more oil reserved. I think most geologists would agree with this comment.
@@ningwang7696 I see, but I meant more oil when conventional reserves are add to the non-conventional (shale oil) reserves.
@@Brandon_letsgo yep, I guess still the Middle East might have more, the exploration methods does not change the amount of oil reserve. Although actually Middle East never had released the data, we are just estimating.
Thanks a lot for the video! Greatings from Russia!
Thank you for your kind words!
I always make it a point to ask young Earthers why the Permian basinis still called that and not by some other name. Just like with medical breakthroughs derived from evolution they aren't likely to give up the benefits of an area of science that they only reject in principle.
Can I use some of the great information in this video to create contains for educational purposes only?
Sure, you can. If possible, please give us credit in your product. Thanks!
