Oil and Gas Overview: Midland County, Texas

Midland County, Texas. One of the most prolific oil and gas producing counties in the Permian Basin, if not the entire United States. Besides hydrocarbon production, the County sees substantial environmental impacts in other areas: Wastewater storage, pipelines, truck transportation, brine extraction and refinement, natural gas flaring, and more. Money pours in from Houston, Dallas, and NYC, and oil pours out…but at what cost? It’s an important County. Just don’t drink the water or breathe the air.
