Plugged and Abandoned — Ness County
5,556 of the 8,076 wells on the register in Ness County — 68.8% — 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.
Ness County holds 2.3% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 1.6% of the register overall — so the class is over-represented here.

An old well on land in Ness County?
0 wells in Ness County were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 5,556 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.
