01. Delaware Basin. The Delaware Basin is a large sedimentary basin in the Southwestern area of New Mexico, USA. It is the largest of the two major basins that make up the Permian. Aside from the elastic sediment, the Delaware Basin also contains carbonate deposits which originate from the Guadalupian times when the Hovey Channel allowed access from the sea into the basin.
02. Midland Basin. The Westward dipping Midland Basin is subdivided into multiple formations composing itself of laminated silestone and sandstone. The Midland Basin was filled by way of the large subaqueous delta that ultimately deposited classic sediment into the basin.
