The Permian Basin is a large sedimentary basin in the southwestern part of the United States. It is the highest producing oil field in the United States, producing an average of 4.2 million barrels of crude oil per day in 2019. This sedimentary basin is located in western Texas and southeastern New Mexico. It is named after the Permian geologic ...
The Permian Basin Superorganism is home to a wide variety of "Geo-biological" structures that were popular hiking destinations during the park's tenure. Examples included the Bronchial forests, or the lungs, the Gastric seas, or the digestive areas, the throat of the organism, and more exotic organs such as the 'Ballast pods', which contained a ...

The Permian Basin, home to Monahans and Midland-Odessa combined statistical area, is 250 miles (400 km) wide and 300 miles (480 km) long; Monahans is "The Center of the Permian Basin". The basin was formed during the Permian period, the final portion of the Paleozoic era. At the time, it was an ocean filled with abundant aquatic life.
Permian rocks are the best-known of the Texas Paleozoic. They are widespread in north Texas, where their characteristic red beds are spectacularly exposed in Palo Duro Canyon.
