What stands out for domestic, livestock
The busiest contractor on these records is Rosencrantz-bemis Enterprises, INC, named on 2,103 of them (12.0%), ahead of Miller Drilling (1,562) and Crowdis Water Well Service, LLC (569). The oldest record here was completed in 1971 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 1165 feet — a domestic, livestock well drilled by Richard Henkle Drilling & Supply Co. INC in 1976.
Plugging records — for domestic, livestock
1,269 of the 17,552 records for domestic, livestock carry a plugging report (7.2%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 16,283 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 3,467 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

An unplugged well on land in Kansas?
16,283 of the 17,552 records in Kansas 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.
