Plugging records — for heat pump (closed loop/disposal), geothermal in Johnson County

15 of the 220 records for heat pump (closed loop/disposal), geothermal in Johnson County carry a plugging report (6.8%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 205 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 0 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.
