Recruiters serving Midland operate at the epicenter of America’s most prolific oil-producing region. The Permian Basin, centered on Midland and neighboring Odessa, accounts for nearly 40% of all U.S. oil production and 15% of natural gas output. Texas crude oil production set a new record of 5.85 million barrels per day in July 2025, with the Midland and Delaware sub-basins driving most of that growth through continuous innovation in horizontal drilling and completion technologies. Martin County leads Texas oil production at 596,000 barrels per day. Midland hosts corporate offices for major operators including Permian Resources, Diamondback Energy, and Pioneer Natural Resources, along with hundreds of service companies, drilling contractors, and midstream operators supporting the basin’s operations.
