==History== The Westbrook Oil Field was discovered on March 5, 1921, when the Texas and Pacific Abrams No. 1 well was completed to a depth of 2498 feet. L.W. Sandusky and P.C. Coleman convinced the Underwriters Producing and Refining Company to drill a test well, which was spudded on February 8, 1920. A subsidiary of [[Standard Oil of California]], the California Company, bought the Underwriters' property in December 1922. By 1926, there were 77 producing wells, with total production amounting to 3400 barrels. Production is from a [[dolomitic]] [[limestone]] within the [[Permian Basin (North America)|Permian Basin]].<ref name=oo>{{cite book |last1=Olien |first1=Diana |last2=Olien |first2=Roger |title=Oil in Texas, The Gusher Age, 1895-1945 |date=2002 |publisher=University of Texas Press |location=Austin |isbn=0292760566 |pages=149-150}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Edwards |first1=E.C. |last2=Orynski |first2=Leonard |title=Westbrook Field, Mitchell County, Texas |url=https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/aapgbull/article/11/5/467/544333/Westbrook-Field-Mitchell-County-Texas1 |website=Geoscience World |publisher=AAPG |accessdate=14 August 2020 |pages=467-476 |date=1927}}</ref>
