Oil was originally perceived in Texas as a nuisance rather than a valuable resource. When it was first discovered in the mid-19th century, it was often associated with water wells and regarded as a bothersome byproduct. However, the perception shifted dramatically after the Spindletop discovery in 1901, which marked the beginning of the Texas oil boom and showcased oil's potential as a lucrative resource, transforming the state's economy and industry. This newfound recognition established Texas as a pivotal player in the global oil market.
Oil was originally discovered in the 60's, I believe by the John Mecom Oil company from Texas.
Originally steamboat cabins and decks were named after states. Since Texas was the largest state, the largest cabin or deck was named the Texas. This nautical use of Texas may be why the Texas deck on oil rigs is named this way. see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_(steamboat)
Texaco, originally known as the Texas Company, was founded in 1901 in Beaumont, Texas. The company emerged during the Texas oil boom following the discovery of oil at Spindletop Hill. Texaco quickly grew to become a major player in the oil industry, expanding its operations across the United States and internationally.
