Humble Oil grows from 10 000 to 100 000 barrels capacity
The Humble Baytown Refinery began operations in late 1920 after swift construction on 2200 acres. It expanded from 10 000 barrels daily to 50 000 in five years and 100 000 by 1927, with stock halved to Standard Oil of New Jersey in 1919 and a surge in outlets across Texas.
