Permian Basin Intro [ UTD GSS PRODUCT ]

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Great start! Hungry now for lots more information! Thank you!

[@Bigeinla]

Fantastic overview.

[@matthsant]

Very nice overview!! Congrats

[@kristopherschwendeman5637]

Nice overview! Thanks!

[@UTDGeoscienceStudios]

Thanks! Kristopher, we are glad that you enjoy it

[@yeseniaza]

Thank you! I live in the Permian Basin LoL

[@UTDGeoscienceStudios]

Haha, hope this video helped you know more about your hometown's 'history'

[@gruud6700]

Great video! Helped me a lot. One suggestion: You did a great job showing the cross sectional development of the basin as the time-line moved from Cambrian to Mississippian (showing little slivers deposited as the arrow on the time-line moved). It would have been great to do the same for the Permian. It seemed to just jump to showing some deposition of strata over the Central Basin uplift, with a sudden doubling of sediment thickness, topped by very thick evaporite sequence. Maybe also adding a reference line showing the base of the Permian in the developing cross section would be good as a reference. Thank you for the video!

[@UTDGeoscienceStudios]

Thanks! Evan, great advice, and we agree totally. In the future, we probably would make more videos about the sediments in this basin and its basement rocks too. So we would improve the Permian depositional history at that time. Appreciate your kind words and advice!

@@UTDGeoscienceStudios It's true that nowadays geologists thinks that the Permian Basin holds roughly as much oil as all the middle east?

[@ningwang7696]

@@Brandon_letsgo Nope, as far as I know, middle east probably has much more oil reserved. I think most geologists would agree with this comment.

[@Brandon_letsgo]

@@ningwang7696 I see, but I meant more oil when conventional reserves are add to the non-conventional (shale oil) reserves.

[@ningwang7696]

@@Brandon_letsgo yep, I guess still the Middle East might have more, the exploration methods does not change the amount of oil reserve. Although actually Middle East never had released the data, we are just estimating.

Great Video! Very detailed information and graphs! Two comments I think that might help:1, the sounds is a little weak, not sure if that is my problem or the video; 2, when talking about volume or size like 2 M barrel per day, it would be better to show some comparison, like equivalent to Mexico (by 2016). For most people, they have no idea what 2 M barrels per day means. Anyway, looking forward to see more of this kind of videos!

[@ningwang7696]

Tim Tian Thanks a lot for your comments and sharing your thoughts. You are right about the sound, we noticed that as well, although difficult people do have different opinions on that point. And more comparisons is a good idea. Thanks, and we would make more and better scientific videos.

You get a strange list when you look up Sedimentary basins of North America in Wikipedia. It does include the Permian basin but not some of the other basins in this video and it does not include the Great Basin

[@ujinb]

Thanks a lot for the video! Greatings from Russia!

[@UTDGeoscienceStudios]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@Eben18]

Can I use some of the great information in this video to create contains for educational purposes only?

[@UTDGeoscienceStudios]

Sure, you can. If possible, please give us credit in your product. Thanks!

[@patldennis]

I always make it a point to ask young Earthers why the Permian basinis still called that and not by some other name. Just like with medical breakthroughs derived from evolution they aren't likely to give up the benefits of an area of science that they only reject in principle.

lol I mean - it’s valid to want fossil fuel use to decline. But it’s hilarious to live in a country that’s not speaking Japanese, German or Russian and not be thankful for some of our natural resources.
