The Permian Basin, home to Odessa and a number of nearby cities, is nearly 250 miles and 300 miles wide. The basin was formed during the Permian Period, the final portion of the Paleozoic Period ( 280 million years ago). At one time, the basin was an ocean filled with marine life and plants.

As the ocean dried up, the decaying plants and animals eventually helped form the gigantic pools of oil and gas that are still being taken from the basin. Odessa's economy has largely been oil based. When most Texans think of Odessa, two things come to mind: oil wells and the Mojo Magic of the Odessa Permian Panthers high school football team.
