Some areas in the Permian have hit geological limits while others, yet to be drilled, are not expected to be as prolific as the prime Tier 1 acreage. Despite record U.S. crude oil production ...

Known as the Great Dying, the mass extinction that ended the Permian geological period was the worst of the five global catastrophic events in Earth’s history, more devastating than the one ...

The mass extinction that ended the Permian geological epoch, 252 million years ago, wiped out most animals living on Earth. Huge volcanoes erupted, releasing 100,000 billion metric tons of carbon ...

The Permian's geology adds another layer of complexity: drilling in the basin on average produces four barrels of water for each barrel of oil, while in other basins the ratio is closer to one-to ...

Kids in University of Texas Permian Basin’s Geology Camp have spent this week learning about maps, seismology, hydrology and dams as well as going on hikes exploring the geology around them.

The Permian's outlook depends on price and demand, with future growth likely tied to higher oil prices and fewer, larger ...

A seven-paper study on the Permian Basin has been published in the December issue of the AAPG Bulletin and build on each other to offer a highly integrated view of the sources and patterns of ...

The new work, published by scientists at The University of Texas at Austin, is a synthesis of the geology of the Permian Basin, with a particular focus on the Midland Basin, and its interactions ...

The cover of the special issue of AAPG Bulletin containing the seven Permian Basin studies led by researchers at the Bureau of Economic Geology at The University of Texas at Austin. The diagram ...
