when did the spindletop oil boom happen
The Spindletop oilfield again boomed in the 1950s, with the production of sulphur by Texas Gulf Sulphur Company (later Texasgulf ), until about 1975. Salt-brine extraction became a lucrative operation in the 1950s. In 1963â66 even deeper oil production was achieved with an average depth of 9,000 feet.
