Approved Intent to Drill — Chautauqua County

2,550 of the 14,371 wells on the register in Chautauqua County — 17.7% — carry this class.

What this class means

a notice of intent the Commission approved. It does not mean a well was ever drilled.

Chautauqua County holds 7.0% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 2.8% of the register overall — so the class is over-represented here.

What stands out among these

The operator named on most of these records is Wells-battelstein, on 364 of them (14.3%), ahead of Wells-battelstein Oil & Gas (48) and Nemer Oil Prod (37). The oldest well here was completed in 1917 and the most recent in 1994, and the deepest reaches 3350 feet — Gerald Magnus 1, drilled in 1983.

Depth, over the 622 wells in this group where a figure was reported (24%) — a median, never a mean

An old well on land in Chautauqua County?

0 wells in Chautauqua County were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 2,550 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

Approved Intent to Drill, Chautauqua 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.
