Boom and bust in Permian Basin oil markets
Oil prices in January rose 12.5 percent year over year, peaking near 96 dollars a barrel, with futures around 106 dollars last week and about 102 on Thursday. Industry leaders anticipate continued growth, despite past busts, citing regional infrastructure and workforce demand, housing shortages, and a retail and auto sales surge driving the Permian Basin economy in Odessa and Midland.
