  • Deep Oil Possibilities of the Illinois Basin
    s Ccc 36? STATE OF ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF REGISTRATION AND EDUCATION DEEP OIL POSSIBILITIES OF THE ILLINOIS BASIN Alfred H. Bell Elwood Atherton T. C. Buschbach David H. Swann ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY John C. Frye, Chief URBANA CIRCULAR 368 1964 . DEEP OIL POSSIBILITIES OF THE ILLINOIS BASIN Alfred H. Bell, Elwood Atherton, T. C. Buschbach, and David H. Swann ABSTRACT The Middle Ordovician and younger rocks of the Illinois Basin, which have yielded 3 billion barrels of oil, are underlain by a larger volume of virtually untested Lower Ordovician and Cambrian rocks. Within the region that has supplied 99 percent of the oil, where the top of the Middle Ordovician (Trenton) is more than 1,000 feet be- low sea level, less than 8 inches of hole have been drilled per cubic mile of the older rocks. Even this drilling has been near the edges; and in the central area, which has yielded five- sixths of the oil, only one inch of test hole has been drilled per cubic mile of Lower Ordovician and Cambrian. Yet drilling depths are not excessive, ranging from 6,000 to 14,000 feet to the Precambrian. More production may be found in the Middle Ordovician Galena Limestone (Trenton), thus extending the present productive regions. In addition, new production may be found in narrow, dolomitized fracture zones in the tight limestone facies on the north flank of the basin . The underlying Platteville Limestone is finer grained and offers fewer possibilities. The Joachim Dolomite oil- shows occur in tight sandstone bodies that should have commercial porosity in some re- gions.

Bristol Ronald Prescott ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY John C. Frye, Chief URBANA CIRCULAR 424 1968 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/geologyoilproduc424bris GEOLOGY AND OIL PRODUCTION IN THE TUSCOLA AREA, ILLINOIS H. M. Bristol and Ronald Prescott ABSTRACT The Tuscola Anticline, in east-central Illinois, lies astride the complex LaSalle Anticlinal Belt and dips steeply westward into the Fairfield Basin and gradually eastward into the Murdock Syncline. The anticline is broken into two structural highs, the Hayes Dome and the Shaw Dome. Pleistocene sediments, 50 to 250 feet thick, cover the area. Pennsylvanian sediments cover much of the area, thinning to expose an inlier of Mississippian, Devonian, and Silurian rock north of Tuscola. The basal Cambrian for- mation, the Mt. Simon Sandstone, is penetrated by only two wells. Oil production from the Kimmswick (Trenton) com- menced in 1962 from the R. D. Ernest No. 1 Schweighart well, near Hayes, and as of January 1, 1968, approximately 30 wells were producing oil. Cumulative oil production as of January 1, 1968, is approximately 94,000 barrels. The potential pay zone is confined to the upper 5 to 100 feet of structure and to the upper 125 feet of the Kimmswick, whose permeability ranges from 0.1 to 2. millidarcys, av- eraging 0.6, and whose porosity ranges from 2 to 12 per- cent.

Jacobs, compiler ILLINOIS ST ATE GEOLOGIC AL SURVEY John C. Frye, Chief Urbana, IL 61801 CIRCULAR 465 1971 GEOLOGY FOR PLANNING IN ST. CLAIR COUNTY, ILLINOIS Alan M. Jacobs, compiler ABSTRACT St. Clair County lies in southwestern Illinois across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Missouri . One-fifth of the total land surface of 673 square miles is on flood­ plains of the Mississippi and Kaskaskia Rivers and Silver Creek. The floodplains are underlain by as much as 120 feet of gravel, sand, silt, and clay. The remaining fo ur­ fifths of the land surface is on uplands that contain flat or dissected plains, low ridges and mound-shaped hills, about 20 square miles of strip mines , and an area of karst topog­ raphy. The uplands are underlain by as much as 75 feet of till and sand and gravel, and generally 12 to 3 0 feet of loess and related silt; however, near the Mississippi River bluffs there are more than 100 feet of loes s and related silt. These deposits have been redistributed into spoil piles in the strip mines. Ben<ilath these deposits or cropping out in places are gently sloping beds of limestone, shale, sand­ stone, siltstone, clay stone, and coal. Thinly layered, frac­ tured limestone underlies the area of karst topography. Mineral and water resources are abundant in the county . Limestone of the St.

Sivon Department of Geology University of Illinois Urbana, Illinois Abstract: The Maquoketa Group (Upper Ordovician) is poorly exposed in eastern Wisconsin. The most extensive exposure is found along Wequiock Creek, about 10 kilometers north of Green Bay. There the selection includes a small part of the upper Scales Shale and good exposures of the Fort Atkinson Limestone and Brainard Shale. The exposed Scales Shale is 2.4 m of clay, uniform in appearance and containing no apparent fossils. Limestone and dolomite dominate the 3.9 m thick Fort Atkinson Limestone. The carbonate beds alternate with layers of dolomitic shale that contain little to no fauna. The shales represent times of peak terrigenous clastic deposition in a quiet water environment. The car- bonates are predominantly biogenic dolomite and biomicrite. Biotic succession within single carbonate beds includes replacement of a strophomenid-Lepidocyclus dominated bottom community by a trep- ostome bryozoan-Plaesiomys-Lepidocyclus dominated community. Transported echinoderm and cryptostome bryozoan biocalcarenites are common.

SURVEY tlBRARY STATE OF ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF REGISTRATION AND EDUCATION DOLOMITE RESOURCES OF BOONE AND DE KALB COUNTIES James C. Bradbur/ ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY John C. Frye, Chief URBANA CIRCULAR 379 1965 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/dolomiteresource379brad DOLOMITE RESOURCES OF BOONE AND DE KALB COUNTIES James C. Bradbury ABSTRACT The dolomite resources of Boone and DeKalb Counties are of interest because of their location near the greater Chicago area. As natural exposures are rare and quarries are limited chiefly to one area within the two counties, much of the information on the distribution and character of the dolomite formations must come from drill records. Maps in this report show distribution of bedrock formations, depth to bedrock, and depth to and thickness of dolomites. Chemical analyses of samples from active and abandoned quarries are presented. Three or more dolomite rock units up to 300 or more feet in thickness are present in the area. Places where each of the carbonate units may be found with relatively thin overburden are suggested. INTRODUCTION The limestone resources of Boone and DeKalb Counties in north-central Illinois are of interest because of their location near the western margin of the Chicago metropolitan area (fig. 1). Widespread deposits of glacial drift and a lack of pronounced topographic relief generally result in a scarcity of outcrops. Thus, although there are several quarries, both active and abandoned, they are mostly limited to a narrow belt in western Boone County.
