How deep people drill in Miami County

This is what a buyer or a builder actually wants, and the Survey does not publish it as a figure you can look up. The numbers below are medians over the records where a figure was reported — a mean would be carried away by a few deep irrigation wells.

What stands out in Miami County

The busiest contractor on these records is Evans Energy Development, INC, named on 222 of them (31.8%), ahead of Jesse Yoakum Well Drilling (50) and Larsen and Associates, INC (30). The oldest record here was completed in 1974 and the most recent in 2026.

Plugging records — in Miami County

220 of the 698 records in Miami County carry a plugging report (31.5%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 478 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 48 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Miami County?

478 of the 698 records in Miami 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.

Records in Miami County

Miami County — « plugging report » reads yes where a WWC-5P was filed and a dash where none was, which is NOT a finding that the well is abandoned. A 0 means the driller reported no figure, not a measurement of zero. The legal description is on the record, never on a page.
