Approved Intent to Drill — Franklin County

1,927 of the 10,641 wells on the register in Franklin County — 18.1% — carry this class.

What this class means

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

Franklin County holds 5.3% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 2.1% 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 Rantoul Energy Corp, on 195 of them (10.1%), ahead of Tdr Construction, INC (114) and Don Mcginnis (35). The oldest well here was completed in 1958 and the most recent in 1987, and the deepest reaches 2658 feet — Keim 34-c, drilled in 1981.

An old well on land in Franklin County?

0 wells in Franklin County were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 1,927 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, Franklin 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.
