Overview

""Geological Conditions in the Oil Fields of Southwestern Indiana"" is a comprehensive scientific examination of the subsurface structures and stratigraphic conditions that define the petroleum-rich regions of Indiana. Written by W. N. Logan, this work provides a detailed analysis of the geological formations, including the Pennsylvanian and Mississippian systems, and their relationship to oil and gas accumulation. The text explores various oil pools and fields, offering technical insights into the rock layers, structural traps, and the historical development of extraction within the state. This technical study serves as an essential resource for understanding the early 20th-century energy landscape and the geological expertise required for successful exploration. Through its systematic documentation of well records and stratigraphic sections, the book offers a foundational perspective on the mineral wealth of the American Midwest. It remains a valuable reference for geologists, historians of science, and those interested in the industrial evolution of the petroleum industry in Indiana.
