The study was financed in part through a planning grant from the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service, U.S. Depart- ment of the Interior, under provisions of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (PL 88-578). Illinois Department of Conservation personnel re- sponsible for preparing the Request for Proposals and coordinating the work included John Schweg- man, contract liaison officer, and Dr. Edward Hoff- man, Dr. Robert Lee, Marlin Bowles, and Robert Schanzle. Published November 1978 Illinois Natural Areas Inventory, Urbana For additional Information Natural Areas Section Illinois Department of Conservation 605 Stratton Building Springfield, Illinois 62706 Dv\ '^^ Thf Illinois Natural Areas hwfutory u'os a 3-year project to find and describe natural areas for the Illinois Department of Consen'ation. The results of the inventory will be used to develop and implement a state natural area plan, to protect the diversity of natural features in Illinois. Methods forfinding natural areas consisted oj compiling available information, examin- ing maps and aerial photos, aerial surveys, and on-site inspections. As many as 90 items of information were compiled for the sigtiificant sites. A computer-based system was de- veloped to store, retrieve, and analyze the information. The 1,089 sites identified as natural areas have a total of 1,730 significant features. Six hundred and ten natural areas were identified because of their high quality, relatively undisturbed communities of plants and animals. There are 269 areas with endangered species, 160 outstanding geologic areas, and 17 outstanding aquatic areas. Two hundred and fifty-one areas are nature preserves or school natural areas. The approximate acreages of high quality, relatively undisturbed areas of land and water identified by the Inventory are as follows: 13,500 acres offorests, 2,300 acres of prairies, 1,300 acres of savannas, 6,000 acres of wetlands, 2,000 acres of lakes and ponds, and 600 acres of rocky glades and similar communities. These relatively undisturbed areas include seven-hundredths of 1% of Illinois' total land and water area. The natural areas represent a wide diversity of natural features. Most geologic forma- tions, major soil associations, and topographic features occur in at least one site listed by the project. Natural areas were found in all but three counties, but they are concen- trated in hilly regions, along rivers, and near cities. About one-third of the natural areas are receiving some degree (f protection, but only one-fifth of the significant natural features can be considered permanently protected. Half of the areas are threatened with destruction from changes in the me of the land. Principal Investigator ROBERT B. RILEY Director: Surveys JOHN WHITE Director: Information System CALVIN C.

  • 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.

  • Geology and Oil Production in the Tuscola Area, Illinois

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.
