Monahans sits where Farm Road 18 crosses Interstate 20, about 36 miles southwest of Odessa, and it has been the county seat of Ward County since 1938. It is a working oil town: Monahans grew up around the Hendrick oilfield that opened nearby in 1926, and nearly a century later the county is still producing. For an operator that wants to be closer to the Delaware Basin than Odessa without going all the way to Pecos, Monahans is the natural stop. Whether you're after an industrial building for sale, shop and yard space, or industrial land in Ward County, the current inventory below is what's actually available.
On the eastern edge of the Delaware
Ward County sits on the eastern margin of the Delaware Basin, the western half of the Permian. Wolfcamp and Bone Spring production was established here back in the 1970s with the War-Wink fields, and horizontal drilling has since brought a new wave of activity to the county. According to Texas Railroad Commission data, Ward County produced roughly 64 million barrels of oil in each of 2024 and 2025. Every one of those wells needs crews, equipment, and yards to serve it, and a base in Monahans puts them on the interstate with short runs into the field.
Built for operators who move
The draw in Monahans is access. Interstate 20 runs straight through town, connecting east to Odessa and Midland and west to Pecos and Reeves County, and South Loop 464 and Stockton Avenue (FM 18) carry traffic around and through the industrial side of town. For a service company, contractor, fabricator, or logistics operator, that means a Monahans shop or yard can cover a large part of the Permian, east and west, from a single base.
