Sonic boom in Abilene? No, oil boom coming

ABILENE – The oil industry is making its way towards Abilene and expected to boom sometime within the next year.

Because of technology breakthroughs, this oil boom has had a lasting and massive impact in Midland and Odessa. The same is expected for Abilene.

The use of hydraulics has made it easier to tap oil in places that had been unreachable in the past.
