In the Delaware Basin — direct buyer, no brokers, no fees
Pecos County is one of the largest counties in Texas and spans a significant portion of the southern Delaware Basin. Its varied geology offers everything from prolific horizontal shale targets to long-lived conventional fields.
Across its vast area, Pecos County produces from Delaware Basin Wolfcamp and Bone Spring benches in the north and west, plus conventional reservoirs elsewhere. Formation quality varies widely depending on location within the county.
Operators continue to develop Pecos County's Delaware acreage with horizontal wells, while conventional production persists across many legacy fields.
Pecos County is enormous and geologically varied — northern and western areas reach into the productive Delaware Basin shale fairway, while other areas rely on conventional production. Location within the county is a major factor in value.
