Why was the discovery of oil at Spindletop considered more significant than oil found in Corsicana? How did the discovery of oil at Spindle Top affect the development of Houston? no links please

I don't know if you got the answer but if not I can tell you just let me know when you need the answer ok

Explanation:

Q1 On January 10, 1901, a well at Spindletop struck oil ("came in"). The Spindletop gusher blew for 9 days at a rate estimated at 100,000 barrels (16,000 m3) of oil per day. The Spindletop discovery led the United States into the oil age. Prior to Spindletop, oil was primarily used for lighting and as a lubricant.

Q2 Though the oil boom surrounding Spindletop had largely subsided by the beginning of World War I, 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.
