Plugged and Abandoned — Stanton County

761 of the 1,988 wells on the register in Stanton County — 38.3% — 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.

Stanton County holds 0.3% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 0.4% of the register overall — so the class is under-represented here.

What stands out among these
