As 2022 comes to a close and we move into our 76th year in business, we bring you another installment of oilfield history:
After drilling many dry wells, George Strake Sr. struck oil on December 13, 1931 in Conroe, Texas, just 30 miles north of SWOP’s headquarters. By the end of 1932, his 8,500 acre oilfield was producing more than 65,000 barrels of oil a day.
In 1957, the city of Conroe honored Strake by dedicating a monument to him, known as "Joe Roughneck".
