Privacy

No accounts, no tracking, no owner names, and no legal description on any indexable page.

What we collect from visitors

Nothing automatic. No accounts, no advertising, no analytics script, no cookie set by this site. Searches run in your browser against static files.

What we collect when you write to us

The forms send what you type to Formspree, which forwards it to our mailbox: your email address and the details you give about a parcel or a portfolio.

We use it to answer you and, where you asked, to look for licensed Kansas well contractors and pass your request on. We recommend nobody and we are nobody's agent. We have no arrangement with any firm today; we are gathering these requests in order to go and find them. If and when we are paid for doing so, it will say so here. Say so in the message and we pass nothing on. Ask us and we delete what you sent.

The wells and the people who own them

This site republishes a public file compiled by the Kansas Geological Survey.

The owner's name is not carried at all. The source carries one beside a legal description precise enough to find the parcel. It is not requested at download, not stored, and the loader stops if it finds one.

No page carries the legal description. Township, range, section and quarter calls appear only on an individual record, rendered from the URL fragment. That record has no address of its own, so a search engine cannot index it as a page about somebody's land.

Contractors are named, and that is deliberate. A drilling contractor holds a state licence and works publicly. The pages count their records and report the depths on them; they do not rate anyone, and nothing in the register measures quality.

No page calls a well abandoned. That would be a claim about somebody's land that the data does not support.

Having your record removed

If you are named on this site and would rather not be, write to us and we will remove you. You do not have to explain why, and we will not ask.

Two things this cannot do, and we say so plainly rather than let you find out later: it does not change the official register, which is where the record actually lives; and it does not remove you from anyone else's copy of the same public data.
