The Value of a Complete Picture: The Role of the Permian Basin in Local and Global Deep-Marine Resource Development

Michael H. Gardner

Abstract

The Permian Basin contains a remarkably intact sedimentary record of basin evolution. Resource rich, the pursuit has generated a robust subsurface dataset. When combined with exceptional outcrops that rim and define its western margin, a complete picture of basin fill from the source to the sink emerges. The view through this unparalleled geologic window has yielded important advances that are testament to one of the great natural laboratories on Earth.
