The oldest record here was completed in 1975 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 840 feet — a domestic well drilled by Midwest Well & Pump, INC in 2009.

Plugging records — for domestic in Finney County

260 of the 1,419 records for domestic in Finney County carry a plugging report (18.3%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 1,159 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 692 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 Finney County?

1,159 of the 1,419 records in Finney 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.
