	Nassir Alnaji Master's Thesis - Permian Basin Geology
		The Permian Basin of west Texas and Southeastern New Mexico is one of the major petroleum producing regions of the United States.
		The sedimentary section of the Permian Basin is composed of Paleozoic carbonates that accumulated on the shelf of the basin while siliciclastic and some carbonates accumulated on the slope and within the basinal regions.
		The basin is generally characterized by thicker beds of carbonates on or close to the shelf with the shelf margin becoming steeper and sandstone beds in basin becoming thinner.

	Glass Mountains, Texas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The border of the Delaware Basin is marked by the Capitan Reef, an ancient coral reef in Texas and New Mexico; one of the areas where it protrudes is the Glass Mountains, on the southern boundary of the Delaware Basin.
		The Delaware Basin includes an estimated billion years of geological record, but the Permian portion is of especial interest because of its presence in the area; some 95% of the outcrops are of Permian origin.
		The layers of the Permian in the area, as first proposed in 1939, are the Wolfcampian, the Leonardian, the Guadalupian, and the Ochoan, named for various local features (the first two are named for Wolf Camp, a town in the Glass Mountains, and Leonard Mountain, also in that mountain range).

	TXU - Permian Basin Steam Electric Station
		Permian Basin Steam Electric Station is a two unit gas/oil fired power plant, with five gas turbines generators later added to respond to market conditions.
		Permian Basin Steam Electric Station is named after the area in which it is located.
		Permian Basin plant employees also participate in the company-wide community service program, "Our Day To Shine." Each year the project is different and is a way for employees to give back to the community.

		The first commercial oil well in the Permian Basin was completed in 1921 in Mitchell County, on the east side of the basin; completed at a total depth of 2,498 feet, it was the discovery well of the Westbrook field.
		By 1923 it was presumed that the Permian Basin was in the form of an elliptical bowl, the subsurface strata dipping from the rim to a maximum depth in the middle.
		The entire Permian Basin during 1966 produced a total of 607 million barrels of oil and 2.3 trillion cubic feet of gas for a total of $2 billion.

	Permian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Three general areas are especially noted for their Permian deposits: the Ural Mountains (where Perm itself is located), China, and the southwest of North America, where the Permian Basin in the U.S. state of Texas is so named because it has one of the thickest deposits of Permian rocks in the world.
		Permian tetrapods consisted of temnospondyli, lepospondyli and batrachosaur amphibians and sauropsids and synapsid (pelycosaurs and therapsids) reptiles.
		Early Permian terrestrial faunas were dominated by pelycosaurs and amphibians, the middle Permian by primitive therapsids such as the dinocephalia, and the late Permian by more advanced therapsids such as gorgonopsians and dicynodonts.

	NMBGMR Staff - Peter Scholle - Guadalupe Mountains (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Although these local variations in sedimentary facies and sedimentation rates existed, the Permian basin was also subjected to broadly regional subsidence, resulting in the accumulation of between 2,100 and 4,200 m (7,000 and 14,000 ft) of Permian clastic terrigenous, carbonate, and evaporite strata (McKee et al., 1967).
		Permian sandstone units do not thin over the pisolite facies so that it is unlikely that this facies was itself an elevated barrier as required by caliche hypotheses thus a back-barrier seepage area fits the topographic constraints.
		Likewise, the Permian facies suite of fore-reef debris, reef, back-reef rubble, near-back-reef skeletal sands and muds, islands, restricted lagoons, and finally supratidal deposits is remarkably similar to the general facies spectrum found in the Florida Keys-Florida Bay area (Ginsburg, 1964; Purdy, 1963).

	Applied Petroleum Technology Academy (APTA) - Overview of the Permian Basin
		Structurally, the Permian Basin is bounded on the south by the Marathon-Ouachita Fold Belt, on the west by the Diablo Platform and Pedernal Uplift, on the north by the Matador Arch, and on the east by the Eastern Shelf of the Permian (Midland) Basin and west flank of the Bend Arch.
		The basin is about 260 mi by 300 mi in area and is separated into eastern and western halves by a north-south trending Central Basin Platform.
		The Permian Basin has been characterized as a large structural depression formed as a result of downwarp in the Precambrian basement surface located at the southern margin of the North American craton.
