Excerpt from Further Consideration of Prospects for Oil in the Decatur Area
A small area in T. 13 N., R, 3 W. Shows a possibility of some closure in the Pennsylvanian strata. If this is also shown in horizons at greater depth, oil accumulation might be expected, but. Owing to the small area of the structure, closure at depth appears doubtful.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the potential of the Decatur area, south-central Illinois, for oil production in the early 20th century. An overview of the regional geology, and detailed study of local structural features is provided. Chemical and other physical characteristics of the oil sampled from one of the wells is described. The author combines geological maps, diagrams and data to illustrate and explain local and regional correlations and other factors considered during the search for oil in the area. The book gives insight into the assumptions and practices that guided structural oil and gas exploration during the early 20th century, and offers observations and reports that shaped the author's theories and interpretations about the region's geological strata, including its oil-bearing layers, their depth and thickness, and the likelihood of commercially productive oil reservoirs. It ends with conclusions about the parts of the Decatur area deemed most promising for future oil exploration.
