Auto mechanic and Waco, Texas native Bo Bennett rides an oil pump jack in the Permian Basin oil field as his friend records it for Facebook live outside of Midland, Texas in October, 2018. The United States has overtaken Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the world's largest oil producer, thanks largely to shale drilling innovations in the early 2000s. The Permian Basin is the biggest U.S. shale oil producing region, projected by the U.S. Energy Information Administration to produce around 4.117 million barrels per day of oil. According to a recent Forbes article, the Permian has surpassed Saudi Arabia's Ghawar oil field to become the largest oil-producing field in the world.
