The East Texas Oil Field, located in central Gregg, western Rusk, southern Upshur, southeastern Smith, and northeastern Cherokee counties in the east central part of the state, is the largest and most prolific oil reservoir in the contiguous United States. Since its discovery on October 5, 1930, (by Columbus Marion (Dad) Joiner) some 30,340 wells have been drilled within its 140,000 acres (570 km²) to yield nearly 5.2 billion barrels of oil from a stratigraphic trap in the Eagle Ford-Woodbine group of the Cretaceous.
The source of its primary recovery was a strong water drive. Because the field is so geographically large the first wells, located several miles apart, were originally regarded as discovery wells in separate fields. After the spaces between the first wells were drilled, it was revealed that all sectors drew oil from the same Woodbine sands. The giant field was named for its geographic region.

Texas Oil & Gas Since 1543 was the creation of Mr. C. A. Warner. Charlie Warner was the oilman's oilman. He was a landman, registered land surveyor, petroleum engineer, petroleum geologist, vice-president of the Houston Oil Company and director of the Houston Pipe Line Company. Somehow, he managed to find time to research and compose a geological, technological, economic and social history the oil industry in Texas. And he didn't confine his research to the library.
