## Answer
Quick answer The Conroe Oilfield is a textbook Texas Gulf Coast salt-dome trap. The Cockfield Sandstone at 5,000-5,300 ft TVD has produced 700+ million barrels through three eras: primary depletion drive (1931-1945), pressure maintenance via gas reinjection (1945-1980), and continuous waterflood (1980-present). The field's chaotic 1931-1933 production added to East Texas overproduction and contributed to the regulatory framework that became the Texas Railroad Commission pro-rationing system.
