What The Oil Business Means To Texas
Texas oil history shows a rise from Spindle Top and Corsicana to a major industry. By 1901 Texas produced 4.4 million barrels, about 6.2 percent of U S output and 25 percent of world production, rising to 1905 with 30 million barrels and 22.3 percent of U S output. The sector employs millions, fuels steel demand, and anchors transport with vast pipelines and tank cars.
