My Question who and When formally named this basin as "Permian Basin"

This area was first time been found related with Permian geology period was in 1858 by George G and Benjamin F Shumard, and later grologist group which leaded by Johan August Udden. I Udden did a really great job not only for potash mines but also about whole geology sketch for permian basin area, The concept of Morathan Fold, 'open the door for the discovery of oil in Permian Basin'

I did some research work in library, but found no answer!

Production figures
Anyone have anything more current than 1993 for current oil/gas production in the basin? If so, please add! Gwimpey 04:33, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Try the Texas Railroad comission page, it has lots of great info on this topic

Mexico
Is the Permian Basin unique to the US, or does it extend into adjacent areas of Mexico? 99.40.197.2 (talk) 20:05, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Excellent question. I too would like an answer.  Un  sch  ool  01:00, 21 March 2017 (UTC)


 * The location described in the introductory text of the article is inconsistent with the area shown on the map image. Can the region be identified more clearly, mentioning controversies over appropriate areas of inclusion if they exist? Also the image only shows counties in Texas even though the text says parts of the US state of New Mexico are included. The map based on counties suggests the area goes right up to the international border with Mexico so it's unclear (as mentioned above) if it also extends into adjacent areas of Mexico. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.42.76.17 (talk) 07:20, 25 March 2012 (UTC)



Edit/Contributions
Hello, I would like to edit your wiki page and expand on it. I will include more information on the depositional history and tectonic history of the Permian Basin. I am doing this for a class at LSU. Cheers, Eleanor W Smith (talk) 21:45, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi fellow editors and readers! I'm going to add/update some citations and some basic info about the basin. Check my talk page to see what I'm working on. Freitaan (talk) 20:40, 3 October 2016 (UTC) [|Freitaan Talk Page]

Additonal map needed
The map at the top of the article, while a fine map for the purposes it was intended for, is a poor map for the person who wants to know where the Basin is relative to more commonly known landmarks. In order to find out if El Paso was in the basin, I had to find a map of Texas counties and compare their shapes to the outlines on this map.

If someone could put a map of the basin superimposed over a political map it would be very helpful. Un sch  ool  01:02, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Convert templates
As this article concerns a region in the US, when I added convert templates I put the US (non-SI/metric) units first. Should consensus be that this consideration is outweighed by the geological subject, and the units generally used in the scientific community should come first, almost all the conversions can be easily reversed by removing the part of the convert template code that says.
