Barbers Hill Oil Field's Early Wells and Boom Timeline
Houston oil man Paullo Higgins drilled Barbers Hill's first well on September 14, 1902, at 541 feet, failing to strike oil but sparking ongoing exploration. Gulf Oil and Humble funded later wells, with a 70 barrel daily strike in 1916 and a major boom by 1928 after Mills Bennett Smith No.1 gushed. The field became Texas Gulf Coast's second largest producer before the Goose Creek field rise.
