Authorized Injection Well — Ness County

225 of the 8,076 wells on the register in Ness County — 2.8% — carry this class.

What this class means

authorised to receive fluid — saltwater disposal or enhanced recovery — not to produce it.

Ness County holds 1.4% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 1.6% 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 American Warrior, INC, on 19 of them (8.4%), ahead of Palomino Petroleum, INC (17) and Vess Oil Corporation (8). The oldest well here was completed in 1962 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest reaches 6333 feet — Lillie #1 Hz 1.

An old well on land in Ness County?

0 wells in Ness County were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 225 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

Authorized Injection Well, Ness 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.
