Plugged and Abandoned — Reno County

3,124 of the 4,542 wells on the register in Reno 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.

Reno County holds 1.3% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 0.9% 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 Cities Service CO, on 52 of them (1.7%), ahead of Sinclair Prairie Oil CO (49) and Cities Service Oil CO (49). The oldest well here was completed in 1918 and the most recent in 2024, and the deepest reaches 6744 feet — Nunemaker 2509 32-1h, drilled in 2013.

An old well on land in Reno County?

0 wells in Reno County were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 3,124 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, Reno 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.
