The oil industry in Texas has been a driving force of the North American economy for decades. Spanning parts of West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico lays the Permian Basin, a shale basin ranging 250 miles wide and 300 miles long. It is the largest petroleum-producing basin in the United States and is rocking the world of oil and gas.
Once considered a worn-out oil patch on its way to drying up, Permian Basin may be out-producing Saudi Arabia’s Ghawar oilfield within a few years thanks to new technology and aggressive investment. 30 billion barrels of crude and 75 trillion cubic feet of natural gas have already been extracted from the ground and up to 4 million barrels of oil are still being extracted per day.
Work in the Permian looks like it’s unlikely to end, with billions of barrels worth of unextracted oil locked away in rich layers of shale. By 2025, it’s expected that oil production from the United States will equal that of Saudi Arabia and Russia combined, in large part thanks to the Permian Basin.
Building and maintaining new pipelines in the Permian Basin has created a significant amount of jobs including manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and infrastructure. Despite this explosion of available resources and growth potential, the Permian basin faces challenges halting its rapid expansion.
Currently, there is a shortage of infrastructure and workers. This leaves incredible opportunities for growth and development for Albertan Companies. Between the unending natural resources, job creation potential, and the necessary infrastructure building projects, the opportunity to expand your business in the Permian Basin provides your company unlimited job opportunities.
Genesis Aviation has created a charter partnership for oil and gas companies looking to move personnel between Edmonton, Calgary, and Midland, Texas on a regular basis. We already have Alberta-based partners, and we are ready and willing to grow that as demand for work and resources increases.
