Reams have been written about the Cities Service Stapleton No. 1 discovery that wrote oil into Kansas ' vital industrial history. But of this patriarch of Kansas discoveries dating back to October 15, 1916, this can be said in summary: This oil discovery that refused to die is the well that put Kansas on the oil maps. It opened a vast oilfield that has contributed mightily to the winning of three fighting wars and to national in- dustrial growth over almost fifty years. Drilled on faith in the industry ' s first widespread geologic survey, the Stapleton No. 1 brought professional recognition and stature to the new profession of petroleum geology. The field discovered by the Stapleton No. 1 has been the training ground for geologists, production and conservation engineers. And, out of the field have come pioneering de- velopments recognized and practiced throughout the industry. ft ' J The Cities Service Stapleton No. 1 Discovery Staff and Administration
