Yates Oil Field
The Yates Oil Field is a giant oil field in the Permian Basin of west Texas. Primarily in extreme southeastern Pecos County, it also stretches under the Pecos River and partially into Crockett County. Iraan, on the Pecos River and directly adjacent to the field, is the nearest town. The field has produced more than one billion barrels of oil, making it one of the largest in the United States, and in 2009 it remains productive, though at a diminished rate. Since fracturing has exploded in the Permian Basin, the Yates field has seen very heavy activity in the past 3 years. Estimated recoverable reserves are still approximately one billion barrels, which represents approximately 50% of the original oil in place (OOIP).〔Hyne, p. 105〕〔(Description at University of Texas Oil Connections )〕
==Setting==
The productive area of the oil field covers approximately , or over , in a roughly circular area in far eastern Pecos County, south, southwest and west of the town of Iraan. Texas State Highway 349 borders the field on the east, and U.S. Highway 190/193 borders the field on the north, passing through it going west on its way to Interstate 10, from Iraan. A small part of the field extends across the Pecos River into Crockett County, principally southeast of Iraan.
Terrain is hilly on the field itself, with some steep canyon walls and numerous mesas. The region is along the edge of the Edwards Plateau. Elevations range from along the Pecos River to over on the highest mesas. Average annual rainfall is about thirteen inches, and temperatures range from an average overnight low in January of to a July afternoon high of 96 degrees Fahrenheit. Native vegetation, where present – for much of the area is exposed rock – consists of desert shrubs, grasses, and scrubby live oaks. Drainage is primarily to the north and east, into the Pecos River, which flows south into the Rio Grande.〔 Texas State Historical Association〕
