Wolfcamp Shale Tops Permian Basin Oil

Wolfcamp Shale in the Permian Basin
Per a new assessment by the US Geological Survey, the Wolfcamp shale formation in the Midland basin section of the Permian Basin contains approximately 20 billion barrels of oil.
Twenty billion barrels makes the Wolfcamp shale the largest deposit of continuous oil ever discovered in America.
And even a West Texas Intermediate crude oil price of $50 per barrel would make these deposits worth around $1 trillion – that’s trillion with a “t”.
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe
Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign
oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion
barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at $107 a barrel,
we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5..3 trillion.
The Wolfcamp Shale is part of the sweeping and energy-rich Permian Basin, which includes a series of basins and other geologic formations in West Texas and southern New Mexico. It's one of the most productive oil and gas regions in the U.S.
