## Answer
Quick answer The Texas Panhandle and the Permian Basin are distinct Texas oil and gas regions: the Panhandle is an older, shallower province known for Hugoton gas, Granite Wash, and Cleveland Sand, while the Permian to the south is deeper, larger, and dominated by horizontal shale development.
