The Spindletop discovery led the United States into the oil age. oil was primarily used for lighting and as a lubricant. its impact would last much longer. The abundance of oil found in Texas would fuel the expansion of the shipping and railroad industries, as well as the development of new innovations such as automobiles and airplanes.

Hopes this helps
