Permian Basin, large sedimentary basin in western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, U.S., noted for its rich petroleum, natural gas, and potassium deposits. Owing to its economic importance, it is one of the most well-studied geologic regions of the world.
The Permian Basin is an energy-rich depression in the earth’s crust that spans parts of West Texas and New Mexico. How rich? It accounts for nearly 40% of the oil production and 15% of the natural gas production in the United States.
Permian Basin Information & Statistics. What is the Permian Basin? The Permian Basin is an oil-and-gas-producing area located in West Texas and the adjoining area of southeastern New Mexico.

The Permian Basin, which spans western Texas and eastern New Mexico, represents the most prolific hydrocarbon production region in the United States. They accounted for about 30% of U.S. crude oil production and 14% of U.S. natural gas production (measured as gross withdrawals) in 2020.
The Permian Basin, a sprawling shale patch that lies beneath Texas and New Mexico, is uniquely positioned to become the world’s most important growth engine for oil production.
