The units include 30-year composition roofs, eight-and-a-half foot ceilings, textured sheetrock walls, hardwood cabinets, china sinks, fiberglass showers and other, similar amenities.

The Permian Basin, a geological formation in that area of west Texas, is currently considered the lowest-cost oil production area in the United States due to the depth of the shale combined with cost-cutting methods used to lower production expenses.

“With the momentum the Permian Basin has to be at the top of the oil industry in the United States, we are making a good investment by furthering that momentum with our budget-friendly housing,” said Blake Templeton, owner of the Corporate Ranch.
