REGION SURROUNDING SPINDLETOP POOL. 
In the region surrounding the Spindletop pool a large amount of 
prospecting lias been done, but up to the present time no productive 
territory has been developed. This region is a very level plain, for 
the most part treeless prairie, but with some considerable timbered 
areas. The monotony of the surface is relieved only by the broad 
flood plain of the Neches River, which is but slightty above tide level 
and generally occupied by cypress and other swamps. 
The wells, whose locations are shown on the accompanying map, 
fig. 3, vary in depth from 1,200 to 2,400 feet. Although none of 
them are productive, most have shown some signs of oil, probably 
derived from beds corresponding to those which yield small quanti- 
ties of oil over the main oil rock in the Spindletop pool. They fur- 
nish considerable information regarding the character of the beds 
underlying the Coastal Plain, and a number of the logs are here given 
in order that they may be on record. 
From what has already been said concerning the normal thickness 
of the Gulf Coastal Plain formations and the structure of the Spin- 
dletop pool, it is evident that a well in this region less than 3,000 feet 
in depth does not reach the oil-bearing horizon anywhere except upon 
the Spindletop dome. It can not be said, therefore, that the possi-
