Plugged and Abandoned — Allen County

6,910 of the 20,676 wells on the register in Allen County — 33.4% — carry this class.

What this class means

the well was plugged and the work was reported. This is the status you want to see against a well nobody produces from any more.

Allen County holds 2.8% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 4.0% of the register overall — so the class is under-represented here.

What stands out among these

The operator named on most of these records is Kachina Production CO, on 206 of them (3.0%), ahead of Colt Energy INC (146) and Layton Oil CO (122). The oldest well here was completed in 1900 and the most recent in 2025, and the deepest reaches 9619 feet — Gardel Farms 1.

An old well on land in Allen County?

0 wells in Allen County were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 6,910 on the register — the sign that an operator was gone. If you find a well on your land, report it and do not tidy it up: knocking over casing can make you the responsible party. This site reads the register; it does not plug wells. Tell us where and we pass the request to Kansas operators and consultants.

We recommend nobody and we are nobody's agent. We have no arrangement with any firm today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.

The wells

Plugged and Abandoned, Allen County — the last column reads yes where the register records the well as plugged, State where it was plugged at public expense, and a dash where neither. A 0 depth means none was reported. The legal description is on the record, never on a page.
