SPINDLETOP OILFIELD. The Spindletop oilfield, discovered on a salt dome formation south of Beaumont in eastern Jefferson County on January 10, 1901, marked the birth of the modern petroleum industry.
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 1963â66 even deeper oil production was achieved with an average depth of 9,000 feet.
