The Permian Basin of west Texa
s and southeastern New Mexico is having a resurgence of oil and gas activi
ty unlike that seen since the late 1970&rsquo\;s and early 1980&rsquo\;s.&
nbsp\; The high level of rig activity is being driven by the application o
f new technology. \; Specifically, horizontal drilling and hydraulic f
racturing coupled with high oil prices have made previously uneconomic res
ervoirs attractive drilling targets. This lunch-time presentation will giv
e attendees an overview of the geographic location of the Permian Basin, t
he geology of the Permian Basin, and discuss the latest trends being devel
oped by oil and gas operators. There will be an explanation of geologic pr
inciples, an explanation of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing t
echniques and discussion of how the technology has impacted the developmen
t of new oil and gas plays. \;The presentation will conclude with a br
ief
overview of water needs as it impacts the oil and gas industry an
d energy development in the semi-arid Permian Basin.
