ogwell

Plugged and Abandoned — Johnson County

1,894 of the 5,389 wells on the register in Johnson County — 35.1% — 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.

Johnson County holds 0.8% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 1.0% 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 Martin Oil Properties, on 63 of them (3.3%), ahead of Bradley Oil Company (54) and D & Z Exploration, INC (49). The oldest well here was completed in 1919 and the most recent in 2019, and the deepest reaches 3140 feet — Weidemier 1.

Depth, over the 1,883 wells in this group where a figure was reported (99%) — a median, never a mean

An old well on land in Johnson County?

0 wells in Johnson County were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 1,894 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, Johnson 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.
