Mexia Texas Oilfield 1st Wildcat 1920 Oil Well 1929 Advertisement
great old map of Limestone County, Mexia Texas
"A wildcat test on the Rodgers farm three miles west of Mexia, Limestone County, opened the first production of Mexia oilfield November 20, 1920. Pay was topped at 3064 feet in Woodbine sand, and represented the first oil pay from this formation. Gravity of crude in the discovery well tested 36.9 degrees Baume. The discovery well flowed irregularly by heads following the strike, and sanded up, apparently a freak producer. Following a re-working of the hole successful completion was made for 2,000 barrels. Rapid development followed the discovery but, due to lack of knowledge at the time of fault conditions, the field peak was not attained until 1922, when Mexia yielded 35,120,000 barrels. Production in 1928 was 2,942,000 barrels bringing the fields total output at the close of that year to 97,972,000 barrels."
