Where they are

What stands out for environmental remediation, soil vapor extraction

The busiest contractor on these records is Geocore Services INC, named on 694 of them (17.4%), ahead of Coranco Great Plains, INC (349) and Geotechnical Services, INC (274). The oldest record here was completed in 1991 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 223.77 feet — a environmental remediation, soil vapor extraction well drilled by Coranco Great Plains in 2017.

Plugging records — for environmental remediation, soil vapor extraction

1,635 of the 3,980 records for environmental remediation, soil vapor extraction carry a plugging report (41.1%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 2,345 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 106 records here completed before 1995, that is exactly what a buyer checks. Why it matters and who pays.

Who drills them

An unplugged well on land in Kansas?

2,345 of the 3,980 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.
