North Currie Eighth Discovery on Mexia Fault
The North Currie field marks the eighth oil discovery along the Mexia fault which has drawn major industry interest. By 1921 few derricks existed and only two producing wells near Mexia. The Humphreys Oil Co. first struck Currie in late 1921, with further discoveries in Richland and Wortham fields by 1924, amid a Gulf region boom along the Southern Pacific corridor. The North Currie find dates June 10 of the current year, adding to about 1800 producing wells in nearby fields. The new field lies close to the Southern Pacific right of way between Mexia and Corsicana.
