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 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.

Burke PALAEOBIOLOGY DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL HISTORY, ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM, TORONTO, ON, CANADA M5S 2C6 Number 41 May 2009 www.conodont.net Webmaster Mark Purnell, University of Leicester 2 Chief Panderer’s Remarks May 1, 2009 Dear Colleagues: It is again spring in southern Canada, that very positive time of year that allows us to forget our winter hibernation & the climatic hardships endured. It is also the time when Joan Burke and I get to harvest and see the results of our winter labours, as we integrate all the information & contributions sent in by you (Thank You) into a new and hopefully ever better Newsletter. Through the hard work of editor Jeffrey Over, Paleontographica Americana, vol. no. 62, has just been published to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Pander Society and the 150th Anniversary of the first conodont paper by Christian Pander in 1856; the titles and abstracts are here reproduced courtesy of the Paleontological Research Institution in Ithica, N.Y. Glen Merrill and others represented the Pander Society at a conference entitled “Geologic Problem Solving with Microfossils”, sponsored by NAMS, the North American Micropaleontology Section of SEPM, in Houston, Texas, March 15-18, 2009; the titles of papers that dealt with or mentioned conodonts, are included in this Newsletter. Although there have been no official Pander Society meetings since newsletter # 40, a year ago, there were undoubtedly many unofficial ones; many of these would have been helped by suitable refreshments, the latter likely being the reason I didn’t get to hear about the meetings.

Geological Science Field Trips The Educational Extension Unit ot the Illinois State Geological Survey conducts four free tours each year to acquaint the public with the rocks, mineral resources, and landscapes of various regions of the state and the geological processes that have led to their origin. Each field trip is an all-day excursion through one or more Illinois counties. Frequent stops are made to explore interesting phenomena, explain the processes that shape our environment, discuss principles of earth science, and collect rocks and fossils. People of all ages and interests are welcome. The trips are especially helpful to teachers preparing earth science units. Grade school students are welcome, but each must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. High school science classes should be supervised by at least one adult for each ten students. A list of earlier field trip guide leaflets for planning class tours and private outings may be obtained by contacting the Educational Extension Unit, Illinois State Geological Survey, Natural Resources Building, 615 East Peabody Drive, Champaign, IL 61820.

    OZARK UPLIFT PROVINCE (057) By Joseph R. Hatch INTRODUCTION The Ozark Uplift Province covers approximately 53,000 sq mi in eastern and southern Missouri (76 counties) and northern Arkansas (10 counties). The province is bounded on the north by the Iowa Shelf Province (052), on the east by the Illinois Basin Province (064), on the south by the Arkoma Basin Province (058), and on the west by the Cherokee Platform (060) and Forest City Basin (056) Provinces. The major structural element in the province is the domal Ozark Uplift, from which sedimentary rocks have been eroded, leaving approximately 350 sq mi of Precambrian granite exposed in the core area. The sedimentary cover in the Ozark Uplift Province averages less than 2000 ft and primarily consists of dolomites and sandstones of Cambrian and lower Ordovician age. A generalized stratigraphic column for the province is shown in figure 2. In the western part of the Ozark area, Mississippian rocks overlap lower Ordovician rocks, and Middle Ordovician, Silurian, and Devonian rocks are absent. Middle Ordovician, Middle Devonian, Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian rocks are generally present in the counties north of the Missouri River (Adler and others, 1971). One conventional hypothetical play has been defined for this province, Middle Ordovician (Champlainian) Play (5701). ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Scientists affiliated with the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and from various State geological surveys contributed significantly to play concepts and definitions. Their contributions are gratefully acknowledged. CONVENTIONAL PLAYS 5701. MIDDLE ORDOVICIAN (CHAMPLAINIAN) PLAY (HYPOTHETICAL) The hypothetical Middle Ordovician (Champlainian) Play in the Ozark Uplift Province is based on (1) current hydrocarbon production from age-equivalent rocks in the adjacent Illinois Basin and Forest City Basin Provinces (064 and 056); (2) the presence of potentially good to excellent hydrocarbon source rocks in the Middle Ordovician section; and (3) the presence of potential sandstone and porous dolomite and limestone reservoirs.
