    Permian Nights: Illuminating the Basin's Darkest Secrets
    Jan 31 2025
    This is your Derricks After Dark: Permian Basin's Hidden History podcast.

    Welcome to Derricks After Dark, where the Permian Basin reveals its hidden history under the cover of night. I'm your host, and tonight, we're diving into the legends and stories that emerge only after sunset.

    Imagine the vast expanse of the Permian Basin, its oil rigs and drilling sites stretching as far as the eye can see. But as the sun dips below the horizon, the landscape transforms. The bright lights of the rigs cast long shadows, and the night air is filled with the hum of machinery and the whispers of the past.

    Bobby Weaver, a veteran of the oilfield, remembers his first encounter with the Permian Basin's nocturnal magic. "I was 12 years old when I moved to Odessa with my family," he recalls. "The first time I saw the rigs lit up at night, I thought I'd stumbled into a fairyland. The neon lights, the flares, it was like nothing I'd ever seen before."

    But the Permian Basin's nighttime landscape is not just a spectacle; it's also a place of hard work and danger. The graveyard shift, as it's known, is a time when the oilfield comes alive with nocturnal operations. Workers like Bobby Weaver have spent countless hours under the stars, their faces illuminated only by the glow of their rigs.

    As we delve deeper into the night, we find stories of infamous characters, like Lee Harvey Oswald, whose grave in Dallas is said to be haunted by restless spirits. Dalen Spratt, a paranormal investigator, has explored the cemetery where Oswald is buried, capturing eerie audio recordings that seem to confirm the legend.

    But the Permian Basin's darkness is not just a backdrop for ghost stories; it's also a fragile resource that needs protection. The McDonald Observatory, located in the heart of the Davis Mountains, is a world-class astronomical research facility that relies on the region's dark skies to study the universe. Bill Wren, Special Assistant to the Superintendent at the McDonald Observatory, has been leading the Dark Skies Initiative, a campaign to educate oil and gas operators on the importance of preserving the night sky.

    As we wrap up tonight's episode, the stars are shining bright above the Permian Basin. The oil rigs are still humming, and the night air is filled with the whispers of the past. Join us next time on Derricks After Dark, as we explore more of the Permian Basin's hidden history, and the stories that emerge only after sunset.
