This is the lower most section of the Knox megagroup and equates to the Bonneterre formation in Kansas. This zone should be primarily dolomite with sandy oolitic lime intervals. Based on the seismic data we have a significant structure with a possible fault to the west. Two wells the Cisne # 1 Community in Wayne County, Illinois and Cuppy # 1 in Hamilton County, Illinois had porosities of 10-20% with gas shows. A drill stem test on the Cisne # 1 Community yielded gas cut saltwater. The Cuppy # 1 had organic carbon content of 1.5%.
