In the Central Basin Platform — direct buyer, no brokers, no fees
Andrews County straddles the boundary between the Central Basin Platform and the western Midland Basin, giving it a rare mix of long-lived conventional production and modern horizontal development. It is one of the most consistent oil-producing counties in West Texas.
The county produces from conventional carbonates of the Central Basin Platform — including San Andres and Grayburg — as well as deeper Spraberry and Wolfcamp targets toward the Midland Basin side. This stacked potential supports both EOR projects and new horizontal drilling.
Occidental Petroleum and other operators run substantial conventional and enhanced-oil-recovery operations in Andrews County, alongside horizontal development of the deeper unconventional zones.
Andrews County blends long-lived conventional carbonate production (San Andres, Grayburg) with deeper Spraberry and Wolfcamp horizontal development, giving many tracts both steady legacy income and additional upside.
