Spindletop Texas
Variation and Migration of Crude Oil at Spindletop, Jefferson County, Texas

Spindletop Oil Field, Jefferson County, Texas
Variation and Migration of Crude Oil at Spindletop, Jefferson County, Texas
Abstract Four distinctive types of crude oil, one of which is. divisible into two subtypes, are present among the fifteen United States Bureau of Mines analyses of Spindletop crude. Types B, C, and D seem indigenous respectively to the Middle Miocene, Lower Miocene, and Oligocene; B is not migrant C or D, and C is not migrant D. Although immigrant into the cap rock, type A is not derived from types B, C, or D. Some of the analyses are from migrant B and C crudes. The change of character of the crude during migration was slight and was mainly in the direction of slight decrease of residuum and of viscosity of the crude as a whole. Stratification according to gravity is shown by type B crude and consists in the main of enrichment of the upper part of the reservoir in the lighter fractions. Increase of the A.P.I, gravity of the crude and of all fractions with increasing depth is shown, and also a tendency toward increase of the lighter half of the distillation fractions.
Abstract The Spindletop oil field was the first and one of the most brilliant of the Gulf Coast oil fields. Spindletop is a characteristic Gulf Coast salt dome and is composed of a steep-sided, relatively flat-topped, circular salt core with a diameter of about 1 mile, and with a limestone, anhydrite, gypsum cap surmounting the salt. Most of the oil was produced from the porous cavernous limestone at the top of the cap. The early gushers have never been equaled in the United States for the size of their daily flush production. Few fields in the United States of like size, 265 acres, have had as big a production, thirty million barrels in the first three years, and a total of over fifty million barrels to date.

Geophysics; full partner
Probably the greatest event in the exploration history of the American petroleum industry was the discovery of oil at Spindletop, near Beaumont. Texas, on January 10, 1901. That historical find revolutionized industry and spawned the industrial development that the world enjoys today. It also focused the petroleum industry’s exploratory efforts on the search for other domes and anticlines. This search sustained the growth of our profession of petroleum geologists. The second great event that had significant implications for our profession and the industry we serve was the discovery of the East Texas field on October 5, 1930. On that day the discovery well (“Dad" Joiner’s Daisy Bradford 3), located in Rusk County, was completed as a 300 bbl/day producer. The East Texas field has two outstanding features: Its tremendous size and the simplicity of its geologic trap. It has produced 5,311,152,697 bbls through the year 2001, and probably will produce many more millions of barrels. Figure 1 shows that the trap is stratigraphic and occurs where the eroded edge of the Woodbine sand crosses regional nosing on the west flank of the Sabine uplift and is truncated between the overlapping Austin Chalk and the Wichita limestone below.
Review of Developments in 1938, Gulf Coast of Southeast Texas and Louisiana

Abstract Port Acres and Port Arthur fields are located on the Gulf coastal plain of southeast Texas near the Louisiana border, northwest of the town of Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas. The fields lie along the down-dip part of the Frio (Oligocene) sandstone producing trend and on a semiregional positive feature generally referred to as the Vicksburg platform. Port Acres field is a classic example of a primary stratigraphic trap, whereas Port Arthur is a combination structural-stratigraphic trap producing from locally deposited lower Hackberry sandstones on an anticlinal closure which developed on the downthrown side of a contemporaneous fault. Significant events of the predevelopment exploration between 1943 and 1957 included seismic surveys and the drilling of several wells. The major reserves at Port Acres are in the lowest sandstone unit of the lower Hackberry sandstone zone. Reserves at Port Arthur are in the middle Frio and in 11 sandstones in the lower Hackberry. The limited effectiveness of the seismograph is demonstrated by comparison of the prediscovery interpretation with the interpretation after field development. The lower Hackberry sandstone section represents a delta extending seaward from the mouth of a stream ancestral to the Neches or the Sabine River; deposition was influenced initially by the uplift of Spindletop salt dome on the northwest. Later growth of the Port Neches salt dome on the northeast affected the structure in the area. Port Acres field covers 3,200 acres on which 55 wells have been completed; Port Arthur field covers approximately 1,700 acres on which 14 wells have been completed. Reserve estimates indicate that the Port Acres–Port Arthur fields ultimately will produce 400 billion cu ft of gas and 20 million bbl of distillate. The productive lower Hackberry sandstone section was deposited within the framework of a middle Tertiary delta. Similar sandstones should be present elsewhere in the Gulf Coast across the eroded surface of the Vicksburg platform, and it is likely that some will be found to contain petroleum accumulations.
