The Illinois Oil Industry Source: Dr. M. M. Leighton, Chief Illinois State Geological Survey The total production of crude oil in Illinois will approximate 830 million barrels Jan. 1. 1942. The current rate of production (Oct. 1, 1941) is approximately 417,000 barrels daily. Oil production in Illinois began on a small scale near Litcheld, Montgomery County, in southwestern Illinois, about 1886. For about 20 years production was insignificant. Then came the discovery of the great southeastern Illinois field (located mainly in Clark, Crawford, Lawrence, and Wabash counties), and its development caused the State's annual production to mount rapidly to a peak of 33,686,000 barrels in the year 1908. From 1908 to 1910 Illinois ranked third in the nation in oil production, being exceeded only by California and Oklahoma. For the next 25-year period, ending in 1936, Illinois' production declined gradually to a level of a little less than 42 million barrels 1928 of rich oil fields in the very center of the Michigan basin, geologists began to realize the possibilities of such untested basins as that in Illinois. There were (Oct. 1, 1941) 9,990 oil wells producing in the new fields of the State (discovered since Jan. 1, 1937), and the average daily production for September was 405,000 barrels. This is an average of 40.5 barrels a well a day. The old fields produced an average of 13,400 barrels a day during September, 1941, from approximately 13,000 wells, or an average of 1.03 barrels a well a day. The Salem field, Marion County, with 2,391 producing wells and 20,000 acres of production are the largest fields in the State discovered in recent years. Many new areas of oil production have recently been discovered in White, Hamilton, Franklin, Saline and Gallatin counties. The Johnsonville field in Wayne County may prove to be the most important new field discovery in 1941. There were (Oct. 1, 1941) 83 producing wells in an area of approximately 2,000 acres and further development is continuing rapidly. The initial production of many of the wells ranged from 2,000 to 5,000 barrels daily.
