Midland Texas Drive Lapse with Oilfield Museum. Cruising around the West Texas oilfield town Midland Texas. Bonus includes a walk around of the Midland Petroleum Museum.

Midland was established in June 1881 as Midway Station, on the Texas and Pacific Railway. By 1890, it had become one of the most important cattle shipping centers in the state. Midland was changed significantly by the discovery of oil in the Permian Basin in 1923 when the Santa Rita No. 1 well began producing in Reagan County, followed shortly by the Yates Oil Field in Iraan. Soon, Midland was transformed into the administrative center of the West Texas oil fields. During the Second World War, Midland was the largest bombardier training base in the country. A second boom period began after the war, with the discovery and development of the Spraberry Trend, still ranked as the third-largest oil field in the United States by total reserves. Yet another boom period took place during the 1970s, with the high oil prices associated with the oil and energy crises of that decade. Today, the Permian Basin produces one fifth of the nation's total petroleum and natural gas
output.

Odessa Texas / Permian Basin road tour video. I was back home driving around West Texas checking out my old stomping grounds. A lot has changed.

Odessa Texas is located in Ector County with some parts it residing in Midland County. Odessa's name is some what a mystery, it's said to be named by Russian immigrants who once help build the rail road through the region. It's said to have been named after Odessa, Ukraine, because of the local shortgrass prairie's resemblance to Ukraine's steppe landscape.

Odessa was founded in 1881 as a water stop and cattle-shipping point on the Texas and Pacific Railway. The first post office opened in 1885. Odessa became the county seat of Ector County in 1891 when the county was first organized. It was incorporated as a city in 1927, after oil was discovered in Ector County on the Connell Ranch southwest of Odessa.With the opening of the Penn Field in 1929, and the Cowden Field in 1930, oil became a major draw for new residents.

Odessa is the birth home to many notable people:

갤버스턴 북동쪽해안에는 오늘날의 휴스턴을 있게 한 산업역군 오션스타호가 정박돼 있다. 1969년부터 15년 동안 갤버스턴 근해 멕시코만 연안에서 석유를 채굴했던 이 배는 이제 현장에서 퇴역해 박물관으로 이용되고 있다. 작년 7월 미 에너지관리청(EIA) 통계에 따르면 텍사스 지역에서 생산되는 석유는 미국 전체의 1/3이상을 차지하고 있다. 그런 만큼 이 지역 사람들은 석유산업에 대해 자부심을 갖고 있다. 이 박물관을 찾는 사람들은 대부분 석유업계 관계자들로 이곳에서 회의를 열고 정보도 교환한다. 이곳에서는 석유산업 종사자는 물론이고 어린 유치원학생들부터 고등학생에 이르기 젊은이들에게 석유 시추의 역사, 필요성 등을 교육 시킨다. 박물관 한켠에 있는 명예의 전당에 아버지 부시 대통령의 모습이 있다. (조지 H W 부시, 41대 대통령) 텍사스 출신으로 석유회사를 설립하여 부를 축적하고, 1989년 대통령에 이르렀다. 텍사스 멕시코만 연안의 봄 날씨는 일교차가 심하다. 화창한 날에는 수은주가 20도 이상 올라가지만 흐린 날에는 7~8도 이하로 떨어진다. 오늘은 날씨가 흐려 기온이 쌀쌀하다. 추운 날씨에도 낡고 오래된 시추선에서 뭔가를 열심히 공부하는 사람들의 모습이 인상적이다.

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.
Permian Basin deposition history can be classified into three major stages. The first stage lasted from Cambrian to Mississippian time, when a broad sag basin called the Tobosa Basin existed in the Permian Basin region. This was part of a broad, shallow marine shelf that defined the southern margin of N. America. In Early Paleozoic time, the Tobosa Basin filled chiefly with carbonate and fine-grained clastic sediments and ceased to exist as a distinct basin after deposition of platform limestones and black shales during Mississippian time. The second stage of basin development occurred in Late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) time, from about 360 to about 300 million years ago, when the Permian Basin region became tectonically active. Collision of Laurentia and Gondwanaland to form Pangea led to faulting and rupturing of the Tobosa Basin. Significant faulting, tectonic uplifts, and deeply subsiding basins formed in response to formation of the NW-SE trending Ancestral Rocky Mountains. The rising Central Basin Uplift subdivided the former Tobosa Basin into the Midland and Delaware Basins with adjoining shelf areas. Pennsylvanian strata consist of cyclical shales, carbonates, and sandstones deposited in a broad spectrum of depositional environments including sediment starved basins (Adams and others, 1951), shallow-marine carbonate shelves, fluvial coastal plains, and deltas. The last stage in formation of the Permian Basin happened in Permian time, 300 to 250 million years ago, when the basin filled in completely. The Permian Basin region at that time lay near the equator and hosted a broad spectrum of shallow marine depositional environments— from hypersaline sabkha to tidal flats, low-energy open-marine shelves, grainstone shoals, and shelf-edge reefs—that prograded into the basins. Thick sequences of organic- rich shales, siltstones, sandstones, and limestone filled in the deeper parts of the basin. The great Permian Reef and associated units exposed in the Guadalupe Mountains National Park is a superb representative of this stage in Permian Basin development. Finally, in Late Permian time about 260 million years ago, the whole area became a huge sabkha and filled with thick evaporites.
Since the first commercial hydrocarbon discovery in 1921, the Permian Basin area has produced significant volumes of oil and natural gas. Hydrocarbon production peaked in the 1970s and declined for several decades until new techniques of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing of organic-rich mudstones and associated fine-grained facies led to greatly increased production in the early 21st century. It is now clear that several organic-rich sedimentary horizons in the Permian Basin contain hydrocarbon deposits. The richness of these deposits combined with drilling and completion technology that allows to commercially extract oil and gas from them ensures that the Permian basin will be an important part of the US economy far into the future.

Texas oil boom

The Texas oil boom, sometimes called the gusher age, was a period of dramatic change and economic growth in the U.S. state of Texas during the early 20th century that began with the discovery of a large petroleum reserve near Beaumont, Texas. The find was unprecedented in its size and ushered in an age of rapid regional development and industrialization that has few parallels in U.S. history. Texas quickly became one of the leading oil producing states in the U.S., along with Oklahoma and California; soon the nation overtook the Russian Empire as the top producer of petroleum. By 1940 Texas had come to dominate U.S. production. Some historians even define the beginning of the world's Oil Age as the beginning of this era in Texas.[1]

The major petroleum strikes that began the rapid growth in petroleum exploration and speculation occurred in Southeast Texas, but soon reserves were found across Texas and wells were constructed in North Texas, East Texas, and the Permian Basin in West Texas. Although limited reserves of oil had been struck during the 19th century, the strike at Spindletop near Beaumont in 1901 gained national attention, spurring exploration and development that continued through the 1920s and beyond. Spindletop and the Joiner strike in East Texas, at the outset of the Great Depression, were the key strikes that launched this era of change in the state.

This period had a transformative effect on Texas. At the turn of the century, the state was predominantly rural with no large cities.[2] By the end of World War II, the state was heavily industrialized, and the populations of Texas cities had broken into the top 20 nationally.[3] The city of Houston was among the greatest beneficiaries of the boom, and the Houston area became home to the largest concentration of refineries and petrochemical plants in the world.[4] The city grew from a small commercial center in 1900 to one of the largest cities in the United States during the decades following the era. This period, however, changed all of Texas' commercial centers (and developed the Beaumont/Port Arthur area, where the boom began).

H. Roy Cullen, H. L. Hunt, Sid W. Richardson, and Clint Murchison were the four most influential businessmen during this era. These men became among the wealthiest and most politically powerful in the state and the nation.

Midland/Odessa Included on List of State’s Most Congested Roadways (Full Story)

ODESSA - Midland and Odessa are among the state’s “Most Congested Roadways” according to the Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s annual analysis of the state’s most congested roadways.

The top three congested roadways in the Permian Basin are 42nd Street from Preston Smith to Andrews Highway, 8th Street from F.M. 1882 to Dixie, and Andrews Highway from 42nd Street to I-20.

The study provides detailed mobility information and illustrates how traffic congestion is no longer simply a “big city problem”.

Fossil Fuels and the Constitution; Feelin' the BERN

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton want to destroy the fossil fuel industry to stop climate change. That is nonsense!

Many of those worried about so-called “climate change” rail against fossil fuels.

Vermont Senator and Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders said, “We have a crisis of historical consequence. We have got to tell the fossil fuel industry that short-term profits are not more important than the future of this planet.”

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business. We’ve got to move away from coal, and all the other fossil fuels.”

That is ridiculous! Coal, oil, and natural gas are vital parts of the economy, and putting an end to them would be devastating to both American workers and consumers. According to Clarkson University, 60% of the energy used in the United States is either petroleum or natural gas, and coal supplies 50% of the electricity in the United States¹. Putting such a vital industry out of business would devastate the people who live in cities like Midland, Texas, where the economy is centered around fossil fuel production.

While it is ludicrous to put the fossil fuel industry out of business, the more important issue is that Congress has no Constitutional jurisdiction in the matter. The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Nowhere in the Constitution does Congress receive authority to elevate energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro over coal, petroleum, and natural gas. While there’s nothing wrong with these alternative energy sources, the job of the United States government under the Constitution is to preserve liberty, not the environment.
