A deep dive into the Permian Basin's 400-million-year saga—from the Tobosa passive margin and two tectonic upheavals to the Capitan Reef’s fossil-fuel legacy. We trace how a thick Castile evaporite seal trapped hydrocarbons, how modern horizontal drilling and fracking unlocked them, and why the basin’s vast scale still shapes today’s energy landscape and environmental challenges.
