Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the geology of three counties in western Illinois: Bond, Macoupin, and Montgomery. The author presents a review of deep drilling for oil and gas in these regions and describes the stratigraphy and presents the logs of the deepest borings in the area. It covers a variety of topics, including the general geology of these counties, the stratigraphy of the central and southern Illinois sections, and the relations of geology to oil and gas. The author provides a detailed columnar section which is compiled from logs that are plotted in a general north to south direction through Morgan, Montgomery, Fayette, Bond, and Clinton counties. The book also includes a cross-section through the Greenville gas field, which shows the structure contours on top of the gas sand. The author discusses the Stubblefield anticline and Greenville gas field in detail, and provides a sketch map showing the location of oil and gas wells near Litchfield. The book concludes with a discussion of the historical review of oil and gas prospecting in the area, as well as the recent prospecting that has been done.
