It'll be interesting to see what happens to that area. Midland/Odessa is really dying.

Heard a guy on NPR using what little money he had to buy stuff at pawnshops in Midland and driving up to Colorado and other states getting a premium for welding equipment, generators, tools an other stuff people would pawn. They were overrun with stuff there but could buy them and still get a markup and profit factoring in gas. Sounded like a smart guy... Definitely not your average baw.





I bet pawn shops are busy as shite over there

The same thing that happened during the bust in the 80s.

People will go back to DFW and Houston...the area will become stagnant again.

And in 5-10 years if the drilling picks up again...people will come back...Olive Garden off the Loop won’t be able to keep anyone hired cause they make more as a hand in the oil field.

Never ending cycle.

In just over a month, scores of drilling rigs have been dismantled and tucked away in storage yards. Pump jacks, those piston pumps that lift crude out of the ground, have seesawed to a standstill as operators shut down wells.

Oil field workers who dined on strip steak and lobster before energy prices went into a tailspin in March are now standing in line at a local food bank for the first time.


Sounds like poor financial responsibility. Steak one month, food bank the next?

That place will be down to about 150 rigs. Last year they had about 450.

Texas Monthly just had a 10 episode podcast about the history of the area, and the various booms and busts. The narrator grew up in the area and worked on a rig in college. It’s pretty good.

This is the death blow for shale oil. Just poor management, lies to investors, and criminal executives. Back to majors and small hardy independent mom and pops with no debt. Doubt the Permian rises again this time except for what exxon and chevron will hold for the future but shale oil is a non starter below $55-$60 a barrel.
