What stands out among these

The busiest contractor on these records is Coranco Great Plains, INC, named on 87 of them (33.5%), ahead of Geotechnical Services, INC (18) and Geocore Services INC (17). The oldest record here was completed in 1984 and the most recent in 2024, and the deepest well on file reaches 460 feet — a monitoring well/observation/piezometer well drilled by Nash Ww Srvc in 2024.

Plugging records — for monitoring well/observation/piezometer in Meade County

94 of the 260 records for monitoring well/observation/piezometer in Meade County carry a plugging report (36.2%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 166 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 55 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 Meade County?

166 of the 260 records in Meade 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.

We recommend no contractor 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.
