Excerpt from Clay Mineralogy of Pre-Pennsylvanian Sandstones and Shales of the Illinois Basin, Vol. 2: Clay Mineral Variations Between Oil-Bearing and Non-Oil-Bearing Sandstones Easily discernible differences between the compositions of clay minerals from oil-bearing and non-oil-bearing sandstones, apparent in both randomly chosen samples and closely associated samples, are thought to be partly a function of the presence or absence of hydrocarbons. Studies of these differences may be of use in the investigation of the time and mode of oil accumulation.
