Illinois Basin Cambro-Ordovician of the Illinois Basin RDOVICI -O AN O O R F B T M H A E C ILLINOIS BASIN Cambro-Ordovician of the Illinois Basin Overview This GeoDigital Information study of the exploration potential of the deeper portion of Cambrian and Ordovician sandstones of the the Illinois Basin, but studies of these Illinois Basin is designed to assist relatively shallow fields were used in exploration and production geologists in combination with the extensive core control their understanding of factors that control from the basin margins to provide a hydrocarbon distribution and production framework for future exploration of these potential in these reservoirs. This research deep reservoirs. Special emphasis was is a logical compliment to the GDI study of placed on recognizing and mapping the deep Ordovician gas reservoirs in the potential hydrocarbon source rock intervals Michigan Basin. These lower Paleozoic and on defining thermal maturity trends of rocks of the Illinois Basin are similar in these source rocks within the basin. many ways to those in the Michigan Basin and, thus, offer similar reservoir potential. All or portions of 115 counties in This fact has created interest in the deep southeastern Illinois, southwestern Indiana, potential of this region.

It also generates a in the Cambro-Ordovician section. comprehensive and internally consistent stratigraphic database for all study wells. Lower Paleozoic rocks in the Illinois Basin This includes the definition and correlation occur at depths ranging from 1,000 feet of stratigraphic markers that can be traced along the basin margins to more than laterally through parts or all of the 50,000 13,000 feet in the center of the basin. square mile study area. Approximately 20 Ordovician oil fields, located mainly near the basin margins, In addition, the study describes the major provide evidence that deeper fields may be lithologies within each stratigraphic interval present in the basin center. This regional based on core examination and log geological study focuses mainly on the interpretation. It also examines the petrography of reservoir and source rocks particularly the source and reservoir with emphasis on mineralogy, lithology, lithologies. These various data sets are types and origin of porosity, and the types of integrated to define promising plays and organic matter (in the source rocks). From trends for future exploration and this information, depositional models are development of Cambro-Ordovician generated for predicting the regional reservoirs in the Illinois Basin. distribution of the various lithologies, Database 366 Study Wells 34 Cores Described (8,980'') 28 Regional Stratigraphic Markers 359 Thinsections Organic Geochemical Analyses A total of 64 samples from 32 wells were selected for source rock analyses to provide a representative stratigraphic and geographic distribution of geochemical data. Due to the absence of Cambro-Ordovician cores at the Kentucky Geological Survey, only cuttings were available from wells in western Kentucky. Cuttings were also used for several wells (e.g., #1 Cuppy, #1 Cisne, #1 Farley) in Illinois and Indiana where cores of promising source beds were not available. Key Well Panels Nine important wells in the database were selected for generation of Key Well Panels. These panels include a digitized log suite for a selected portion of the stratigraphic column (generally the Ancell to Trenton section), computer-generated lithologic interpretations for this part of the log, core descriptions where available, a synthetic seismic trace generated from the log data, and a short section of one of seismic lines (where available near the wellsite) showing the reflectors so that these can be correlated to the synthetic seismogram.

  • Mineral Resources of the Illinois Basin in the Context of Basin Evolution
    Mineral Resources of the Illinois Basin in the Context of Basin Evolution St. Louis, Missouri, January 22-23,1992 Program and Abstracts Edited by Martin B. Goldhaber and J. James Eidel U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 92-1 This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey, Illinois State Geological Survey, Kentucky Geological Survey, Missouri Division of Geology and Land Survey, and Indiana Geological Survey standards. PREFACE The mineral resources of the U.S. midcontinent were instrumental to the development of the U.S. economy. Mineral resources are an important and essential component of the current economy and will continue to play a vital role in the future. Mineral resources provide essential raw materials for the goods consumed by industry and the public. To assess the availability of mineral resources and contribute to the abib'ty to locate and define mineral resources, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has undertaken two programs in cooperation with the State Geological Surveys in the midcontinent region. In 1975, under the Conterminous U.S. Mineral Assessment Program (CUSMAP) work began on the Rolla 1° X 2° Quadrangle at a scale of 1:250,000 and was continued in the adjacent Springfield, Harrison, Joplin, and Paducah quadrangles across southern Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Public meetings were held in 1981 to present results from the Rolla CUSMAP and in 1985 for the Springfield CUSMAP. In 1984, the Midcontinent Strategic and Critical Minerals Project (SCMP) was initiated by the USGS and the State Geological Surveys of 16 states to map and compile data at 1:1,000,000 scale and conduct related topical studies for the area from latitude 36° to 46° N.
