Economic development Andrews is a city built on oil. After the first oil well was drilled (1929) by Deep Rock Oil Company on Missourian Charles E. Ogden's property Andrews County became one of the major oil producing counties in the State of Texas, having produced in excess of 1 billion barrels of oil. However, the cyclical nature of the oil business (as well as dimishing production on existing wells), has caused the community to looked into new means of economic development. One of these means is waste disposal, which in some areas has caused great controversy.
Andrews and the surrounding area gets very little natural rainfall, and sits on a very thick layer of nearly impenetrable clay soil. As a result, it was considered geologically suitable for disposal of low-level radioactive and mixed waste. Waste Control Specialists (WCS), a subsidiary of Valhi and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, maintains a 14,000 acre (57 km²) site in Andrews County on the border with New Mexico. The company is applying for the right to dispose of both low level radioactive and low level mixed waste; currently, it can only process and store these types of waste (though it can dispose of regular waste). WCS is currently receiving uranium byproduct from a decommissioned Department of Energy plant in Fernald, Ohio.
