# Reese Expl — 305 Kansas wells on the register

> 305 wells name Reese Expl as operator of record in Kansas. Which counties, how deep, and how many were plugged at the State's expense.

## Reese Expl

**305** wells name this operator of record — 0.1% of the Kansas register, from 1975 to 1992.

### ⚠️ What this page is, and what it is not

A count of the wells that name this company as
**operator of record** — the operator the register carries,
which is not necessarily the operator today, and not necessarily the one who
drilled the well. Wells change hands and the register is not always caught
up.

It is **not** a rating and not an accusation. In particular,
a well plugged at the State’s expense means the Commission could not
find a responsible party at the time it acted — that is a fact about a
file, not a finding against a named company.

*Depth, over the
303 wells on this operator's records where a figure was reported (99%)
— a median, never a mean*

| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Kansas median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total depth | **703 ft** | 1620 ft | 2831 ft — shallower
here |

### What happened to these wells — on this operator's records

**187** of the 305 wells on this operator's records are classed as
plugged and abandoned. **0** were plugged
**at the State’s expense** because no responsible party
could be found, and **6** 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, 194 of these wells have a date on file.

### An old well on land in Kansas?

0 wells in Kansas were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 305 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

*Reese Expl — 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.*
