Its financial backing came primarily from a syndicate of investors based in Granite City, Illinois. Soon after formation, the company acquired the assets of the North Western Pacific Oil Company and achieved its first producing well in 1923. A small natural gas processing plant was constructed soon thereafter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1303\" data-start=\"953\"\u003eThrough the later 1920s, Illinois-Alberta undertook additional drilling activity, though these efforts yielded diminishing returns.
