Oil Pools Revealed in Illinois Basins Profit Study
The Adams Oil and Gas Co reports new pools at Patoka in 1937 and additional finds at Olney Beecher City Dix and Schmidt Centralia, with eight pools credited to the seismograph. Deeper sands like McCloskey Niagara and Trenton are limestone. Trenton oil near Waterloo and Dupo was shallow and faulted. The St Peters Sandstone underlies much of Illinois and, though producing freshwater in the north, carries saltwater south of Vandalia indicating limited circulation and potential for oil along southern basins.
