The Illinois Basin is our home, and finding economical ways to bring oil and natural gas to the surface is our business. Mitchell Drilling is committed to investing in qualified oil and gas exploration projects in our Basin to create energy reserves for our country and jobs for our communities.

For example, we can produce natural gas from the desorption of methane from buried coal seams. Mitchell Drilling is one of the developing partners in Illinois Methane LLC, a company created to produce abandoned coal mine methane gas to heat our homes and businesses.
