Inactive Well — Anderson County

232 of the 12,692 wells on the register in Anderson County — 1.8% — carry this class.

What this class means

on the register, not producing, and not plugged. This is the category a landowner should look at hardest.

Anderson County holds 1.6% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 2.4% of the register overall — so the class is under-represented here.

What stands out among these

An old well on land in Anderson County?

0 wells in Anderson County were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 232 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

Inactive Well, Anderson 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.
