High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yates Oil Field is a giant oil field in the Permian Basin of west Texas. Primarily in extreme southeastern Pecos County, it also stretches under the Pecos River and partially into Crockett County. Iraan, on the Pecos River and directly adjacent to the field, is the nearest town. The field has produced more than one billion barrels of oil, making it one of the largest in the United States, and in 2009 it remains productive, though at a diminished rate. Estimated recoverable reserves are still approximately one billion barrels, which represents approximately 50% of the original oil in place (OOIP). The productive area of the oil field covers approximately 26,400 acres, or over 41 square miles, in a roughly circular area in far eastern Pecos County, south, southwest and west of the town of Iraan. Texas State Highway 349 borders the field on the east, and U.S. Highway 190/193 borders the field on the north, passing through it going west on its way to Interstate 10, 14 miles from Iraan. A small part of the field extends across the Pecos River into Crockett County, principally southeast of Iraan.
