Permian Basin energy wealth is real — but so is the volatility. Tower Hill provides portable life insurance that stays with Midland families regardless of oil prices, layoffs, or career changes. Instant decisions, no exam for most applicants.
Tower Hill advisors understand West Texas. We work with Midland energy families, business owners, and contractors to size coverage correctly for Permian Basin incomes.
Oil price cycles and industry layoffs are real risks in Midland. Your Tower Hill policy is yours to keep — it never depends on your employer or the price of oil.
High Permian Basin salaries mean your family needs more income replacement — not the generic $250K policy. We help you size coverage to your actual financial reality.
Based on Midland demographics, these three coverage types address the most common financial gaps.
Midland home values have surged with the Permian boom. A term policy matched to your mortgage keeps your family in their home even if oil prices crash your income.

Midland is the financial capital of the Permian Basin — the most productive oil and gas region on earth. The city's fortunes have always followed oil prices: boom in 2012, bust in 2015, boom again in 2021, with the cycle continuing. This volatility defines Midland's insurance environment in a way unlike any other Texas city. During boom periods, Midland workers earn extraordinary incomes — roughnecks clearing $150,000+ annually, engineers and landmen earning twice that. During busts, those incomes can evaporate within months. The financial risk isn't just losing a job; it's carrying a lifestyle and obligations built on boom-cycle income into a bust cycle with zero income replacement protection. Life insurance that was "unaffordable" during a bust becomes obviously necessary in retrospect. Tower Hill helps Midland families get covered during both phases of the cycle — with flexible coverage levels and no-exam options that accommodate the income volatility and demanding physical work of energy sector careers. Midland also has a significant population of wealth-building families who have accumulated meaningful assets through stock in energy companies, mineral rights, and investment properties. Permanent life insurance plays a critical estate planning role for families whose net worth includes illiquid energy assets — ensuring heirs aren't forced to sell at fire-sale prices to cover estate obligations.
