The Permian Basin comprises several component basins, including the Midland Basin, which is the largest; Delaware Basin, the second largest; and Marfa Basin, the smallest. The Permian Basin covers more than 86,000 square miles (220,000 km 2), [1] and extends across an area approximately 250 miles (400 km) wide and 300 miles (480 km) long. [2]
Permian Basin is in geology the name of two large intercontinental basins that were formed in the Permian period, neither of which are in Perm Krai: . Permian Basin (North America), a basin in the subsurface of the south of the United States, in west Texas and southeast New Mexico
The Permian Basin, home to Monahans and Midland-Odessa combined statistical area, is 250 miles (400 km) wide and 300 miles (480 km) long; Monahans is "The Center of the Permian Basin". The basin was formed during the Permian period, the final portion of the Paleozoic era. At the time, it was an ocean filled with abundant aquatic life.
Location of the Yates Oil Field in Texas, showing major and nearby cities. Black lines are county boundaries. The Yates Oil Field is a giant oil field in the Permian Basin of west Texas. Primarily in extreme southeastern Pecos County, it also stretches under the Pecos River and partially into Crockett County.
The US Permian Basin is the archetypal onshore super basin. [3] However, other basins are located around the world, such as South America's Neuquen Basin in 2018, which counts with favorable regulations and government support. [4] In Mexico, there are potentially ripe basins.
Location of the Spraberry Trend in Texas, showing major and nearby cities. Black lines are county boundaries. The Spraberry Trend (also known as the Spraberry Field, Spraberry Oil Field, and Spraberry Formation; sometimes erroneously written as Sprayberry) is a large oil field in the Permian Basin of West Texas, covering large parts of six counties, and having a total area of approximately ...
The marine basin is formally known as the Midland Basin, a major component of the Permian Basin oil field. [8] [2] Rising sea levels through the Early Permian allowed the coastline to gradually transgress northward and eastward. The major bonebed sites of the Archer City Formation were probably 40–60 km (25–37 mi) away from the coast.
Location of the European Permian basin. Pink dashed lines show the extent of Zechstein evaporites marking the limits of the Northern and Southern Permian basin. The European Permian Basin is a thick sequence of sedimentary rocks deposited in a large sedimentary basin during the Permian period (from 298.9 to 251.9 million years ago) in Northern Europe.
