We show that these oils, which are produced from reservoirs more than 125 mi (200 km) from the basin's depocenter, were derived from Devonian source rocks in the deep basin. We then use quantitative models of the basin's paleohydrology to INTRODUCTION investigate the past subsurface conditions that drove the migration. We conclude that long-range migration The distribution of petroleum production from the was not related to processes occurring as the basin Illinois basin extends considerably beyond the area subsided and infilled. -

Biggs DIVISION OF THE ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY JOHN C. FRYE, Chief URBANA CIRCULAR 245 1957 ILLINOIS GEOLOGICAL SURVEY LIBRARY JAN 9 1958 ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 3 3051 00004 4572 PETROGRAPHY AND ORIGIN OF ILLINOIS NODULAR CHERTS Donald L. Biggs ABSTRACT Seventy-eight samples of nodular chert from 18 Illinois lime- stone and dolomite formations, ranging from Cambrian through Mississippian age, were investigated todetermine the petrography and mode of origin of the nodules. Regardless of geologic age or type of host rock, the nodules were similar in mode of occurrence and in principal textural characteristics. The cherts are dominantly microcrystalline or cryptocrys- talline quartz with a lesser amount of fibrous quartz. No opal or hydrated silica was detected. Almost all the cherts contain re- sidual masses of their host rock. Field relationships and a varie- ty of evidence for replacement leads to the conclusion that the cherts are epigenetic concretions formed by metasomatic proc- esses operating during diagenesis and involving the aggregation of silica that originally had been deposited syngenetically with, and dispersed through, the host rocks. INTRODUCTION Chert is found in many limestones that crop out in Illinois and range in age from Cambrian to Mississippian. The chert may appear as nodules, len- ses, or beds, and some Devonian rocks in extreme southern Illinois are entire- ly chert. -

U.S. Shale Gas
U.S. Shale Gas An Unconventional Resource. Unconventional Challenges. WHITE PAPER U.S. Shale Gas An Unconventional Resource . Unconventional Challenges . Executive Summary Current increasing demand and lagging supply mean high prices for both oil and gas, making exploitation of North American unconventional gas plays suddenly far more lucrative for producers. One of the most important such plays to emerge has been U.S. shale gas, with current recoverable reserves conservatively estimated at 500 to 1,000 trillion cubic feet. Hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling are the key enabling technologies that first made recovery of shale gas economically viable with their introduction in the Barnett Shale of Texas during the 1990s. However, a comparison of the currently hottest shale plays makes it clear that, after two decades of development and several iterations of the learning curve, best practices are application-dependent and must evolve locally. That said, a review of current trends in these hot plays indicates that, in many cases, the impact of high-drilling density required to develop continuous gas accumulations can be minimized through early and better identification of the accumulation type and size, well- designed access and transportation networks, and cooperative planning and construction efforts, when possible. U.S. Shale Gas Geographic Potential Across the U.S., from the West Coast to the Northeast, some 19 geographic basins are recognized sources of shale gas, where an estimated 35,000 wells were drilled in 2006. Presently, significant commercial gas shale production occurs in the Barnett Shale in the Fort Worth Basin, Lewis Shale in the San Juan Basin, Antrim Shale in the Michigan Basin, Marcellus Shale and others in the Appalachian Basin, and New Albany Shale in the Illinois Basin. -
