Plugged and Abandoned — Lyon County

528 of the 1,202 wells on the register in Lyon County — 43.9% — 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.

Lyon County holds 0.2% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 0.2% 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 Ross Welch Pipe & Supply CO, on 47 of them (8.9%), ahead of White & Ellis Drilling INC (22) and Saco Oil CO (14). The oldest well here was completed in 1923 and the most recent in 2024, and the deepest reaches 3484 feet — Trust 2, drilled in 1973.

An old well on land in Lyon County?

0 wells in Lyon County were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 528 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, Lyon 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.
