Town Oil CO
556 wells name this operator of record — 0.1% of the Kansas register, from 1943 to 2010.
⚠️ 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.

What happened to these wells — on this operator's records
156 of the 556 wells on this operator's records are classed as plugged and abandoned. 3 were plugged at the State’s expense because no responsible party could be found, and 5 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, 174 of these wells have a date on file. What each class means.

An old well on land in Kansas?
3 wells in Kansas were plugged at the State’s expense, out of 556 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.
