# The Moran oil field, Kansas — 819 wells

> 819 wells in the Moran field: which counties, which formations, who operated them.

## The Moran field

**819** wells — 0.2% of the Kansas register.

### What stands out in the Moran field

The operator named on most of these records is **Mcfadden Oil CO**, on 155 of them (18.9%), ahead of Boyer Marvin E Oil (119) and Ensminger Donald & Jack (101). The oldest well here was completed in **1900** and the most recent in 2024, and the deepest reaches **1991 feet** — Wolfe 1-swd, drilled in 1995.

*Depth, over the
714 wells in this field where a figure was reported (87%)
— a median, never a mean*

| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total depth | **877 ft** | 955 ft | 2831 ft — shallower
here |

### What happened to these wells — in the Moran field

**186** of the 819 wells in the Moran field are classed as
plugged and abandoned. **0** were plugged
**at the State’s expense** because no responsible party
could be found, and **8** 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, 196 of these wells have a date on file.

### Producing formations

| Formation | Wells | Share |
|---|---|---|
| [Bartlesville](/formation/bartlesville.md) | 259 | 31.6% |
| [Cattleman](/formation/cattleman.md) | 10 | 1.2% |
| Cherokee Sand | 9 | 1.1% |
| [Mississippian](/formation/mississippian.md) | 8 | 1.0% |
| Burbank | 8 | 1.0% |
| [Arbuckle](/formation/arbuckle.md) | 2 | 0.2% |
| [Cherokee](/formation/cherokee.md) | 1 | 0.1% |
| Mississippian Limestone | 1 | 0.1% |
| [Mississippi](/formation/mississippi.md) | 1 | 0.1% |
| [Cherokee Coals](/formation/cherokee-coals.md) | 1 | 0.1% |

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?

0 wells in Kansas were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 819 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](/privacy.md).

### The wells

*The Moran field — 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.*
