Texas oil districts mapped by geography in Southwest Texas
Southwest Texas districts 1 2 and 4 form the oil region with Gulf Coast wells. In 1951 drilling rose to 3084 completions from 2911, depth rose to 4836 feet, and annual footage reached 14 913 625 feet. District 3 along the Gulf Coast houses most refineries and liquefied gas plants with 19 refineries and 55 200 barrels daily. East Texas grows on vast oil revenues while North Texas shows shallow but rising output. Panhandle yields large gas reserves and Gould’s 1905 discovery spurred the first Panhandle well. production centers in Amarillo and Hedland.

Humble Oil charts new well completion to cut workover costs
Humble Oil and Refining Co engineers unveil a small‑size perforating gun and permanent-tubing completion method to reduce workover expenses. The process sets tubing inside the well and uses run‑through tools for future remedial work, enabling selective squeeze‑cementing and targeted perforations to curb salt water intrusion.
