The West Texas Energy Consortium (“Consortium” or WTxEC) is an open forum for coordination and information sharing, organized by the Workforce Solutions Boards in Concho Valley, West Central Texas, and Permian Basin Regions. The WTxEC has contracted with the Center for Community and Business Research at The University of Texas at San Antonio’s Institute for Economic Development to estimate the economic impacts of the oil and gas industry on certain counties in the Consortium in the year 2012, and to create a forecast for the year 2022.
After a drop in production in the early half of the 2000s, the annual oil production in the United States has dramatically increased, from 3.1 billion barrels in 2008 to 4.1 billion barrels in 2012, ranking it second in the world in oil production behind only Saudi Arabia (4.2 billion barrels). The surge in U.S. domestic oil production is a factor in the recent decrease of the U.S. trade deficit.
Within the United States, the state of Texas has emerged as a leader in domestic oil production. Texas is the home to 858 active rigs, more rigs than any other state in the country. Texas’s rig count represents nearly 25 percent of rigs worldwide.1 Texas has access to the Barnett, Eagle Ford, Granite Wash, Haynesville, Mississippian, and Permian basins: six of the 14 major petroleum basins in the United States.2 The Energy Information Administration in March 2014 recently conducted a study that focuses on the six shale basins that account for 90 percent of the growth in oil and natural gas production in the United States.3 Half of these key oil and shale gas regions are located within the state of Texas.

This study focuses on the impacts of drilling operations in the Permian Basin, a formation that occupies a vast area along 39 counties in West Central and West Texas. The core study area includes Fisher, Glasscock, Howard, Irion, Martin, Mitchell, Nolan, Reagan, Scurry, and Sterling counties. The report also includes a secondary study on Brown, Coke, Coleman, Runnels, Taylor, and Tom Green counties, which neighbor the core study area. The region has a long history of oil and gas activity. In recent years renewed attention in vertical wells and new directional drilling techniques such as slant hole and horizontal drilling coupled with hydraulic fracture stimulation have been used.
The purpose of the study is to gauge the growth and the effects that the oil and natural gas industry have for residents and decision makers in the West Texas region as a whole, and for the specific counties in particular. Although industry developments may be still considered recent, the scope and breadth of these impacts are very large, and tangible effects on the region will be felt for years to come.

The total impact of oil and gas industry activity in the 10 counties in 20225 is forecasted to be more than $20 billion in the moderate scenario, with 30,540 jobs anticipated, and revenues of $664 million for the local governments and $701 million for the state government.
For 2012 the oil and gas industry in the 10 counties is estimated to have total impacts close to $14.5 billion, support 21,450 full-time-equivalent (FTE) jobs, generates revenues of $446 million for the local governments and $472 million for the state government.
TOTAL IMPACTS 2012 ANDPROJECTED IMPACTS FOR 2022
5 The methodology for the study follows the steps explained in Javier Oyakawa, A Framework for the Study and Forecast of Labor Force, Employment, Population, Migration, and Commute Changes in the Eagle Ford Shale, (2014,March). Paper presented at the 44th Annual Conference of the Urban Affairs Association, March 19-22, 2014. San Antonio, Texas. PDF file.

Taking into consideration all three scenarios, the impacts can be summarized as:• Output regional impact between $7.6 and $34.3 billion;• Employment regional impact between 11,800 and 49,700 jobs; and• Gross regional product impact between $3.4 billion and $16.2 billion
The ranges of these figures are broad due to high variability in the prices of oil and gas, the challenges of forecasting future oil and gas activities, changes in the number of wells per rig, and changes in productivity per worker for relevant industries in the study. As with the 2012 impacts, the IMPLAN model was adjusted to avoid double counting the impacts of several industries in the same area.
Economic Output for the oil and gas production in the core ten county area may be further broken down based on the type of activity related to production. Economic activity for 2012 and forecasted for 2022 related to drilling, midstream, extraction and downstream (refining) are shown on the following table.
Due to the uncertainty in future oil and gas prices, the study forecasted three different scenarios according to price estimations by the Energy Information Agency (EIA). These prices correspond to three scenarios: low prices, moderate prices, and high prices.

Between the fourth quarter of 2011 to the fourth quarter of 2012, for the aggregate of all 10 counties, employment increased by 737 jobs, a 2.20 percent increase. For the 10 counties, the highest growth rate corresponds to other services (8.80 percent increase); followed by the natural resources and mining sector (8.00 percent increase), and the manufacturing sector (7.80 percent increase).
Another indicator of the benefits from the West Texas oil and gas production is the amount of sales taxes that these counties generate, divided into four quarters, between 2002 and 2012. The 10-county area’s total sales subject to state sales tax had an increase of $340 million by the end of this time span. The following graph shows the original values in blue and the smoothed values in orange. The smoothed values represent a four-quarter average.

The most impacted WTxEC counties in terms of 2012 employment are Martin County (4,610 FTE jobs), Scurry County (2,966 FTE jobs), and Howard County (2,808 FTE jobs). The 2022 projections show the most impacted counties are Reagan County (5,131 FTE jobs), Irion County (4,586 FTE jobs), and Martin County (4,002 FTE jobs). The counties least impacted in terms of employment are Sterling County with 637 FTE jobs and Fisher County with 590 FTE jobs.
The gross county product (GCP) impacts provide a better picture of the benefits of oil and gas activities because values include only earnings and profits and do not double count them as might happen with the output numbers. The most impacted counties in 2012 are Martin County ($1.4 billion), Howard County ($1.2 billion), and Scurry County ($985 million). For 2022 Reagan County ranks first ($2.1 billion) Irion is second ($1.5 billion), and Martin takes the third place ($1.3 billion).

The 2012 and forecasted 2022 impacts of the oil and gas in these six counties are ranked in the following tables. The first table shows the counties ranked in terms of total economic output, or the quantity of goods and services produced by the individual counties. Using the IMPLAN software under a moderate growth scenario, we forecast that each county’s economic output will grow significantly over the period between 2012 and 2022. The three most affected neighboring counties in terms of output for 2012 are Tom Green County ($111.5 million), Taylor County ($56.4 million), and Runnels County ($8.7 million). The forecasts for 2022 show that Tom Green ($148.5 million), Taylor ($80.8 million), and Runnels County ($12.9 million) will continue to have the largest output in 2022. Growth in total gross output will be found in all counties. Our forecasts show that in Coleman County, the neighboring county with the lowest output impact, the total gross output will increase by 55.6 percent.

Payroll connected to the oil and gas industry is forecasted to grow steadily in the neighboring six county area along with employment. The total payroll for the neighboring six counties accounted for a total $27.2 million, with Tom Green County ($13.9 million), Taylor County ($11.3 million), and Brown County ($1.2 million) having a large percentage of the area’s total payroll impacts. The payroll impacts of the oil and gas industry are forecasted in 2022 to increase to $38.1 million.
The gross county product (GCP) impacts offer a clearer picture of oil and gas activities by focusing only on the earnings and profits that remain in area. Using GCP prevents the double counting of values, which may take place in total output impacts. The GCP in the neighboring six counties totaled $92.8 million with Tom Green County ($59.3 million) and Taylor County ($27.8 million) ranking first and second in terms of GCP. In 2022 the neighboring six county’s GCP is forecasted to increase to $126.9 million with Tom Green County and Taylor County representing over 93 percent of this total.
