The Hitesville Consolidated pool is on a broad elongate anticline trending north and south, 4½ miles north of the Shawneetown-Rough Creek fault system in Union County, Kentucky, at the southern extremity of the Illinois basin. The pool was discovered in February, 1943, and has expanded to include approximately 3,500 productive acres. The Chester produces from the Waltersburg, Tar Springs, upper and lower Cypress, and Aux Vases sands. The Ste. Genevieve produces from seven separate porous McClosky zones. Sixty-one per cent of the wells in the pool produce from the McClosky and 20 per cent from the Cypress. The multiple zones of McClosky production constitute the outstanding feature of the pool.
