What stands out among these

The busiest contractor on these records is Miller Drilling, named on 19 of them (12.5%), ahead of Well Owner (18) and Darling Drilling CO (13). The oldest record here was completed in 1970 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 738.5 feet — a test hole/well well drilled by Pratt Well Service, INC in 2003.

Plugging records — for test hole/well in Reno County

62 of the 152 records for test hole/well in Reno County carry a plugging report (40.8%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 90 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 34 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 Reno County?

90 of the 152 records in Reno 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.
