Students from Newton St. Michael Grade School and Hutsonville High School visited the Illinois Oil Field Museum today. The students toured the museum, visited the Shire Crawford County discovery well site and learned more about petroleum geology from retired Pioneer geologist Bill Bandy. Huge thanks to Bill and Randy Wheeler and Ricky Colbert for taking the time to share their knowledge with the students!
Thank you to all the Illinois Basin oil production industry professionals who attended the 2nd Annual Illinois Oil Field Museum Illinois Basin Celebration today!
