The oldest record here was completed in 1991 and the most recent in 2025, and the deepest well on file reaches 35 feet — a environmental remediation, soil vapor extraction well drilled by Geocore in 2020.

Plugging records — for environmental remediation, soil vapor extraction in Barton County

88 of the 203 records for environmental remediation, soil vapor extraction in Barton County carry a plugging report (43.3%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 115 do not.

That is not a list of abandoned wells, and this site never calls them that. Kansas defines abandonment by use — a well unused for two years — and nothing in this register tracks use. What the absence of a plugging report does mean is that the State has never been told the well was sealed. On the 6 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

Who drilled them

An unplugged well on land in Barton County?

115 of the 203 records in Barton County have no plugging report on file. If a well on your land is no longer used, Kansas requires it to be plugged and the duty falls on the landowner — with cost-share of up to USD 1,000 per well through the Kansas Department of Agriculture. This site reads the register; it does not drill and it does not plug. Tell us where and we pass the request to licensed Kansas well contractors.
