Plugged and Abandoned — Wilson County

3,761 of the 12,772 wells on the register in Wilson County — 29.4% — 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.

Wilson County holds 1.5% of the wells in this class statewide, while holding 2.5% 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 Quest Cherokee, LLC, on 83 of them (2.2%), ahead of Consolidated Gas Utilities (76) and Cherokee Wells LLC (53). The oldest well here was completed in 1901 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest reaches 3352 feet — Mcfadden 1.

Depth, over the 3,712 wells in this group where a figure was reported (99%) — a median, never a mean
MeasurementMedian 90th percentile Kansas median
Total depth 975 ft 1238 ft 2831 ft — shallower here

An old well on land in Wilson County?

0 wells in Wilson County were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 3,761 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, Wilson 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.
