The Power of Problem Solvers
the power of problem solvers Chevron’s greatest asset – our people – are focused on making energy... more aordable more reliable ever-cleaner We believe life depends on energy and we’ve taken steps to improve lives through innovation since our founding. California Star Oil Works, a Chevron predecessor, hits pay dirt in Pico Canyon and gives birth to the California oil industry. Steam-powered technology utilized by California Star Oil Works takes the place of primitive solutions like saplings and 1876 rudimentary drill bits, leading to California’s first commercially productive well. After months of hard work, technical diculties and budget constraints, the Texas oil boom kicks o when Captain Anthony Lucas strikes a close to 1901 100,000-barrel-a-day gusher at Spindletop. Standard Oil develops Red Crown aviation gasoline, the first gasoline in the U.S. specifically designed for aviation use. Red Crown powers the aircraft that Charles Lindbergh flies 1917 across the Atlantic. After three years of unsuccessful drilling and mechanical problems in Saudi Arabia, Geologist Max Steineke urges his team to persevere – and it finally pays off on March 3. With the Arab Zone providing the 1938 main source of Saudi Arabia’s oil still today, Steineke’s discovery has enormous implications for the Middle Eastern oil market. Gulf Oil Corp. and Texaco Inc. work as a part of a consortium of U.S. oil companies. Researchers develop a 3D seismic data-processing method, an innovation which helps vet prospective oil fields as well as rejuvenate existing fields. In the following decades, Chevron continues to use 3D 1978 visualization technology, reducing the risk of dry wells and drilling unnecessary wells, minimizing our environmental impact. -
Black Gold: Texas Oil
Black Gold: Texas Oil The discovery and development of Texas oil and natural gas fields was a continuing economic boon to Texas. It allowed economic diversification, establishing a Texas industrial base with the construction of oil fields, pipelines, refineries, railroads, port facilities, and their attendant support industries. The Texas “oil boom” also wove itself indelibly into the fabric of Texas culture and myth. https://education.texashistory.unt.edu Black Gold: Texas Oil Spindletop Spindletop: The Lucas Gusher, January 10, 1901 Oil “black gold” erupted 150 feet in the air from the Lucas Gusher near Beaumont, Texas. The well was not capped for nine days and lost an estimated 850,000 barrels of oil. It produced an estimated 75,000 barrels of oil a day. Peak annual production was 17.5 million barrels in 1902.

Trace the boom-and-bust cycle of oil and gas during the 1920s and 1930s. With the discovery of oil at Spindletop, thousands of fortune seekers flooded into Texas, turning small towns into overcrowded cities almost overnight. An oil worker’s wife described life in East Texas in 1931. There were people living in tents with children. There were a lot of them that had these great big old cardboard boxes draped around trees, living under the trees. And any- and everywhere in the world they could live, they lived. Some were just living in their cars, and a truck if they had a truck. And I tell you, that was bad. Just no place to stay whatsoever. Mary Rogers, interview in Life in the Oil Fields Oil, Oil Everywhere The oil boom of the 1920s and 1930s caused sudden, tremendous growth in Texas. -
