Abstract
The geophysical work which led to the discovery of the East Field in Jim Hogg County, Texas was started in 1934, when a single line of torsion balance stations was run across the area. Core drilling followed in 1938 and 1939. Reflection seismograph work was done in 1942 and outlined the field. The discovery wells were drilled in 1942 and 1943.
