Permian Basin = US Oil and Gas industry That's is not completely true, but very close to being true at current oil prices.

The 357 drill rigs operating in the Permian Basin are 41% of ALL 860 operational land rigs in the United States.

Baker-Hughes says only a speculative play in Oklahoma called the "Northwest Stack" also shows a potential for growth.

The Permian Basin is one of the very few oil producing regions where new wells are economic at current prices and will remain economic at prices $15 a barrel lower.

Looking at rig count more specifically, the oil rig count outside of the Permian Basin has remained unchanged.

The oil rig count in the US, including the Permian Basin, has doubled.

Horizontal rigs, those needed to fully exploit a fracked formation from a limited number of drill sites has increased by six fold. And virtually all of them have been added to the Permian Basin.

Rig counts in the Gulf of Mexico, which is really the only active offshore activity in America has declined - too costly.

We've run out of other people's Social Security taxes needed to subsidize our low income tax rates.
