‘What’s Good for the Oil Business is Good for TAYO,’ CEO Says of Ongoing Infrastructure Investments in West Texas

Major infrastructure investments, including pipelines, offices and housing, are keeping major oil companies interested in Texas’ Permian Basin despite softening oil prices in recent weeks, and Taylor Consulting Inc. (OTCBB:TAYO) CEO Scott Wheeler says the company isn’t slowing down its real estate acquisition plans in the Cline Shale area in the western part of the state.

“Transportation trucks are still rolling and new drilling permits are still being issued. It’s business as usual in West Texas. And what’s good for the oil business is good for TAYO. We have no plans to slow down our interest in growing our portfolio of residential and commercial properties there.”

To capitalize on the booming oilfield economy in West Texas’ Permian Basin region, TAYO created a new real estate division, Third Avenue Development, LLC, earlier this year. Steady increases in exploration and drilling in the ongoing Cline shale boom has resulted in high demand for infrastructure and real estate – housing, hospitality and other industries – to serve the needs of a surging population and the energy corporations working in and around a multi-county region between Midland-Odessa, San Angelo and Abilene.

Third Avenue Development has already acquired two prime properties in the town of Merkel, which is part of the greater Abilene region, and the company announced this week that it has completed its due diligence toward acquisition of another property in the area: a 10-acre lot in the neighboring town of Tye. Healthy economic growth in West Texas has made it a hot spot for real estate development. Earlier this month, Third Avenue Development signed a purchase agreement to acquire White Buffalo Property Solutions LLC, a licensed West Texas real estate broker, to help facilitate more potentially lucrative deals in the region.

Cline Shale

Texas is home to the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas and Cline Shale in West Texas’ Permian Basin – two of the world’s largest unconventional resource plays expected to produce for decades. Cline Shale is an intensive oil and natural gas exploration and production region in the eastern shelf of the Permian Basin in West Texas – a multi-county region between Midland-Odessa, San Angelo and Abilene – estimated to bring 15 years of drilling activity and at least 30 years of oil production. The Permian Basin of West Texas and eastern New Mexico, which contains more than 5 billion barrels of proven oil reserves and estimates of 30 billion barrels of recoverable oil, outranks Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico as the top oil opportunity region in North America. The American Oil & Gas Reporter says commercial and residential real estate development is a key factor in successfully keeping up with the economic growth that comes with the boom in those areas.

Big Plans for ‘Big Country’

White Buffalo Property Solutions serves all 19 counties in “The Big Country” area of Texas in the west central part of the state from its centrally located homebase of Abilene, the largest city near the Cline Shale region. “An advantageous location near Cline Shale and the hometown roots of White Buffalo principal Kyle Tamez, who has extensive knowledge of Abilene and the surrounding area, are sure to be valuable assets in meeting the intense demand for residential and commercial real estate in the region. We are excited about the opportunities that await us in The Big Country.”
