According to the Time Magazine article mentioned on this page, as well as on the Arthur Harvey page, he was the one who first discovered how to extract oil from the Spraberry Trend. Seems like that should be mentioned somewhere on this page with a link back to his page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kflorence (talk • contribs) 22:06, 27 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
