Trivia Question:
With PTTC headquarters being located in Oklahoma, it
seemed only fitting to ask a few questions about the “firsts” in
Oklahoma oil industry history.
-
When was Oklahoma’s first
commercial oil well drilled? Where?
-
When was Oklahoma’s first
refinery built? Where?
-
When did a 160-acre tract in the
Osage first bring $1 million?
-
Where was the first waterflood?
