What stands out for geothermal, closed loop, vertical

The busiest contractor on these records is Associated Drilling, INC, named on 617 of them (30.8%), ahead of Evans Energy Development, INC (398) and Environmental Loop Service, INC (131). The oldest record here was completed in 1980 and the most recent in 2026, and the deepest well on file reaches 804 feet — a geothermal, closed loop, vertical well drilled by Berkel & Company in 2022.

Plugging records — for geothermal, closed loop, vertical

15 of the 2,001 records for geothermal, closed loop, vertical carry a plugging report (0.7%), filed on form WWC-5P. The other 1,986 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 11 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?

1,986 of the 2,001 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.

The records

Geothermal, Closed Loop, Vertical — « 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.
