The Humboldt-chanute field
3,280 wells — 0.6% of the Kansas register.
What stands out in the Humboldt-chanute field
The operator named on most of these records is Scz Resources, LLC, on 234 of them (7.1%), ahead of Admiral Bay (usa) INC (119) and Verde Oil Company (101). The oldest well here was completed in 1943 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest reaches 3828 feet — Solomon 1, drilled in 1972.
| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median |

What happened to these wells — in the Humboldt-chanute field
587 of the 3,280 wells in the Humboldt-chanute field are classed as plugged and abandoned. 151 were plugged at the State’s expense because no responsible party could be found, and 151 sit on the register as inactive — neither producing nor plugged.
⚠️ Two fields in this register disagree, and we show both rather than pick one: across Kansas, 245,220 wells are classed as plugged but 92,867 of them carry no plugging date, while 26,002 wells carry a date under another class. Here, 791 of these wells have a date on file. What each class means.
Producing formations
| Formation | Wells | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Bartlesville | 623 | 19.0% |
| Squirrel | 184 | 5.6% |
| Riverton | 110 | 3.4% |

| Squirrel Sand | 18 | 0.5% |
| Cherokee Coals | 14 | 0.4% |
| Arbuckle | 10 | 0.3% |
The formation is recorded on only 21 % of Kansas wells, so this table describes the minority that carry one.

An old well on land in Kansas?
151 wells in Kansas were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 3,280 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.
