BTA Heliport

As a private facility owned by BTA Oil Producers, LLC, the heliport was likely closed for internal business and economic reasons. This could include a shift in corporate transportation strategy, the high cost of helicopter maintenance and insurance, a reduced operational need for helicopter transport to field sites, or the adoption of more cost-effective technologies like drones for aerial surveying.

The site is the rooftop of the BTA Oil Producers, LLC office building at 104 South Pecos Street in Midland, Texas. The physical helipad, including a painted circle and 'H' marking, still exists on the roof but is faded and shows clear signs of disuse. The heliport is inactive and no longer registered for aviation use. The building itself remains the active corporate headquarters for the company.

BTA Heliport was a private, rooftop heliport located at the headquarters of BTA Oil Producers, a prominent independent oil and gas exploration and production company in the Permian Basin. Its primary function was to support the company's extensive operations. When active, it was used for corporate and logistical purposes, likely including:
- Rapid transportation of executives and key personnel between the Midland office and remote drilling sites or field offices.
- Aerial inspection and surveying of oil fields, pipelines, and other infrastructure.
- Transporting time-sensitive, lightweight parts or documents to field locations.

There are no known public plans or prospects for the reopening of BTA Heliport. As a private facility, any decision to reactivate it would be made solely by BTA Oil Producers, LLC. Given the likely reasons for its closure (high costs and alternative technologies), the prospect of it being reopened for regular use is considered extremely low.
