marshall2019-02-08T20:06:00+00:00

2018 is set to be a fruitful year for the West Texas oil field, and for workforce housing in West Texas. The U.S. oil market is flourishing and Texas carries a lot of the weight.

With oil prices recently reaching $63 a barrel, the Energy sector in Texas is preparing for a lot of growth. According to the Houston Chronicle, Texas drillers have been gradually installing new rigs over the course of the last year, and increased the rig count in Texas by nearly 40 percent to 454.

The U.S Energy Information Administration also predicts that in 2018, the U.S will produce an average of 10.3 million barrels a day, with the Permian Basin region alone accounting for 3.6 million barrels a day.

The benefits of having quality workforce housing camp near the wellhead are not to be understated. When producers are looking to capitalize on every advantage they can, the first place they should start is their employees.
