• The U.S. purchased in 1803, paying $15 m ($.03 per acre) ($230 in 2012 dollars, $.42 per acre) for about 828,000 square miles (529,920,000 acres) • Effectively doubled the size of the U.S., encompassing all or part of 15 present U.S. states and two Canadian provinces • Boundaries were vague, no survey was made • U.S. claimed the entire western portion of the Mississippi River drainage basin to the crest of the Rocky Mountains and extending southeast to the Rio Grande & west Florida Louisiana Purchase 1803 Louisiana Purchase 1803 • Spain insisted Louisiana comprised only the western bank of the Mississippi and the cities of New Orleans and St. Louis • Jefferson commissioned 3 expeditions to explore and map the acquisition: • Lewis and Clark (1804) traveled up the Missouri River; • Thomas Freeman & Peter Custis (1806) explored the Red River Basin; • Zebulon Pike (1806) followed the Missouri to the north, then turned south to the Arkansas River watershed • Domestic opposition –federalists considered the purchase unconstitutional • Jefferson hung his hat on the Presidents authority to negotiate treaties – both houses of Congress quickly ratified the treaty • The purchase is considered one of Jefferson’s greatest contributions to the U.S. Lewis & Clark 1804-1806 Red River of the South Map of the Red River Expedition 1806 Zebulon Pike’s Expedition 1806-1807 Neutral Ground Agreement 1806 25 Neutral Ground Agreement 1806 • After the Louisiana Purchase the United States and Spain were unable to agree on the boundary between Louisiana and Texas • Military Commanders entered into an agreement in 1806 • Disputed territory called the “Neutral Ground” • Arroyo Hondo on the east • Sabine River on the West • Ownership went to the United States by the Adams-Onis Treaty in 1821 Neutral Ground Agreement 1806 Adams-Onis Treaty 1819 • Also known as the Transcontinental Treaty or the Florida Treaty • Ceded Florida to the US, set out a boundary between US and Mexico • Negotiated by John Quincy Adams, the Secretary of State under U.S. President James Monroe and Spanish Foreign Minister Luis de Onis • Defined Borders: • Sabine River to the north from the Gulf of Mexico to the 32nd Parallel north, then due north to the Red River, then west along the Red River to the 100th Meridian west, then due north to the Arkansas River, then west to its headwaters, then north to the 42nd parallel north, then westerly along the 42nd parallel to the Pacific Ocean. • Solved the Neutral Ground Agreement • Ratified by Spain in 1820 and the U.S. in 1821 (during the time of the Mexican struggle for independence from Spain) Area in Dispute 1816-1819 Adams-Onis Treaty 1819 Adams-Onis Treaty 1819 • After independence from Spain, Mexico ratified the treaty by agreeing to the 1828 Treaty of Limits with the U.S. • Controversy developed over the eastern boundary of Texas in connection with the mis-location on maps of the Sabine and Neches Rivers. As a result the eastern boundary of Texas was not settled until 1836. Finally agreed upon by the U.S. and Mexico in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. • The “Melish Map” of 1818 was used extensively in the negotiations and showed the 100th Meridian to be about 90 miles east of it’s true location. This resulted in a dispute after Texas joined the Union • In 1860 Texas organized this area as Greer County. It was not settled until a U. S. Supreme Court Ruling in 1896 upheld Federal claims to the territory and after which it was added to the Oklahoma territory. The Eagle Map 1833 The Melish Map 1818 • John Melish (1771-1822) – Scottish merchant, traveler, author and biographer • Author: A Geographical Description of the World, Intended as an Accompaniment to the Map of the World on Mercator's Projection (1818). • Map utilized in the Adams-Onis Treaty • The 100th meridian as shown on the map was specified as the boundary between the U.S. and Spain but was marked some 90 miles east of the true 100th meridian, and the Red River forked about 50 miles east of the 100th meridian. Texas claimed the land south of the North Fork, and the United States claimed the land north of the South Fork The Melish Map 1823 Greer County The Northeast Corner of Texas • Land claimed by both Texas and the United States • After the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819 it was determined that the Melish Map (which as used in the treaty) was in error. It had the 100th Meridian crossing the Red River at almost the 99th meridian, nearly 90 miles east of its actual location • United States vs. State of Texas – 1896 • Old Greer County divided into Greer, Jackson an part of Beckham counties in the State of Oklahoma Greer County The Northeast Corner of Texas Battle of San Jacinto 1836 • Concluding event of the Texas Revolution • General Sam Houston led the Texans • General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna led the Mexicans • The battle lasted about 18 minutes • Santa Anna captured and coerced into signing the Treaties of Velasco • Measured by its results, San Jacinto was one of the decisive battles of the western world. The freedom of Texas from Mexico won here led to annexation and to the Mexican War, resulting in the acquisition by the United States of the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, Utah, and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma.

BURNEY About three and one-half miles out of Anderson on the Anderson-Navasota Highway is what is believed to be one of the oldest Anglo houses in Texas-the Francis Holland House. Dating from the earliest days of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred, the house has been the scene of more tragedy than triumph. Stra­ tegically located on the early immigrant trails, the dwelling was a place of hospi­ • tality for early colonists as they headed toward the La Bahia cros..'ling of the Brazos River and down to San Felipe de Austin. It was a gathering place for colonists as they came to cast their votes for officers in the Austin Colony. During the spring of 1834, as dreaded cholera crept up the Brazos, disease almost wiped out all of the residents of the house.

As was the case in SPE IOR 2014, five candidates made the final cut to be named an IOR Pioneer and to be honored at the 20th SPE Improved Oil Recovery conference, scheduled for April 9–13, 2016, in Tulsa, Okla. In all, 19 distinguished nomi- nees were on the “short” list for SPE IOR 2016, compared with 11 for SPE IOR 2014—which itself was deemed a substantial number of candidates 2 years ago. The SPE IOR 2016 Pioneers are Richard Hutchins, Sada Joshi, Jenn-Tai Liang, Lanny Schoeling, and Ali Yousef. These five IOR Pioneers will be feted at a special recognition luncheon on April 11, 2016, at Cox Business Center in downtown Tulsa— also the site for the conference. Articles on each of the 2016 IOR Pioneers follow this one. The biennial conference, sponsored by the Mid-Continent Section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, is the world’s larg- est gathering of petroleum scientists and oil and gas industry professionals focused on advancing knowledge and technology to improve and enhance oil and gas recovery.
