What this class means

the well was producing when the record was last updated. It says nothing about today’s rate.

Stanton County holds 1.2% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 0.4% of the register overall — so the class is over-represented here.

What stands out among these

The oldest well here was completed in 1942 and the most recent in 2025, and the deepest reaches 6258 feet — Appleton Gas Unit 1, drilled in 1961.

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.
