Inactive Well — Butler County

219 of the 15,077 wells on the register in Butler County — 1.5% — 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.

Butler County holds 1.5% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 2.9% 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 Magellan Pipeline Company LP, on 23 of them (10.5%), ahead of Conocophillips Pipe Line Company (9) and Vess Oil Corp (8). The oldest well here was completed in 1919 and the most recent in 2025, and the deepest reaches 4970 feet — Wilkonson 1-32, drilled in 2019.

An old well on land in Butler County?

0 wells in Butler County were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 219 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, Butler 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.
