How The Spindletop Oil Discovery Changed Texas and U.S. History. Today is Spindletop Day! It is a day for all of us at Spindletop Energy Products, LLC, and we are very thankful for our history. One hundred twenty-three (123) years ago, on Jan. 10, 1901, the discovery of oil at Spindletop Hill near Beaumont, Texas, would later be considered the beginning of the modern American petroleum industry. It was the moment in Texas's history that would have a lasting impact on the state and the nation. The Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum in Beaumont, Texas, tells the story of one of America’s most significant petroleum discoveries, the “Lucas Gusher.” At that time, the Spindletop field will produce more oil in one day than the rest of the world’s oilfields combined. "Today in history: January 10th 1901 The first great Texas oil gusher is discovered at Spindletop in Beaumont, Texas. Patillo Higgins sought a source of natural gas for his brickyard and envisioned producing oil and gas from Sour Spring Mound, convinced it was an anticline. The eventual oil field would be called Spindletop, after a hill one mile to the east and four miles south of Beaumont. The hill had the appearance of a spindle due to trees on its hilltop (cimas de boneteros, "tops of spindle-trees"). The mound was famous for its gas seeps, which Higgins lit for his Baptist Sunday school class. In August 1892, George W. O'Brien, George W. Carroll, Pattillo Higgins, and J.F. Lanier formed the Gladys City Oil, Gas, and Manufacturing Company to do exploratory drilling. The company tried drilling two test wells but ran into trouble trying to penetrate below 300 feet (90 m), encountering a quicksand-like formation. Higgins quit the venture in 1896. Higgins started drilling again in 1899. On 10 January, they needed to replace the dull fishtail drill bit. While lowering the pipe down the hole, they only got to about 35 joints of pipe, or about 700 feet (210 m), before a low rumble sent mud and then drill stem out of the hole. This was followed by silence, an explosion of more mud and gas, more silence, a flow of oil, and then a loud roar. On January 10, 1901, at a depth of 1,139 ft (347 m), what is known as the Lucas Gusher or the Lucas Geyser blew oil over 150 feet (50 m) in the air at a rate of 100,000 barrels per day (16,000 m3/d)(4,200,000 gallons). Nine days passed before the well was brought under control using a Christmas Tree devised by the Hamills. Spindletop was the largest gusher the world had seen and catapulted Beaumont into an oil-fueled boomtown. Beaumont's population of 10,000 tripled in 3 months and eventually rose to 50,000. Speculation led land prices to increase rapidly. By the end of 1902, more than 500 companies had been formed, and 285 wells were in operation." https://lnkd.in/gBaFq-uE #Spindletop #oil #Beaumont #Texas #America #txlegend #TXHistory #welovehistory #grateful #SpindletopEP
