Five recent tests in Western Illinois give strong indications that most of the exploratory tests drilled in this area have not been drilled deep enough. The five tests encountered shows of hydrocarbons from deeper strata. Four of these tests were in McDonough County in the south-central portion of the Galesburg plain, and one was in Greene County at the common border of the Galesburg and Springfield plain physiographic divisions. Most operators have traditionally viewed this area as a one-objective play.
