This is GIS data of well-header information for oil and gas wells in Kansas. The data is based on well information submitted to the Kansas Corporation Commission on wells planned, drilled, worked over, or plugged. Well information is also collected from wireline logs, core or cuttings submitted for storage, or historical compilations. Some data from other states is included for research purposes. The Kansas Geological Survey compiles and publishes this data. For field/column definitions, download this spreadsheet.The Kansas Geological Survey works with the Kansas Corporation Commission and the Kansas Department of Revenue to create an accurate listing of the oil and gas wells in Kansas. While the other agencies have regulatory duties facilitated by having an accurate accounting of oil and gas wells, the Survey maintains the listing for research purposes and for use by citizens and companies interested in the oil and gas resources of the state.

This release contains geospatial data digitized from the Map Showing Geology, Structure, and Oil and Gas Fields in the Sterling 1x2 Degree Quadrangle, Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas (Scott, 1978) and was compiled as part of the National Geologic Synthesis project. The geospatial data depicts the geology of this quadrangle, which is dominated by Quaternary alluvial and aeolian deposits overlying Tertiary and Cretaceous sedimentary rock, including the Ogallala formation, the Fox Hills sandstone, and the Pierre shale. The included database includes spatial data depicting the locations of mapped geologic contacts and faults, polygons denoting the mapped surficial extent of geologic formations, and structural contours denoting the depth to the top of the D sandstone of the Dakota Group. The database also contains non-spatial tables, including a list of data sources, a description of map units, a glossary of terms, and a data dictionary.

This layer shows locations of oil and gas wells that were designated to be part of the Type Logs Project. This project was conducted by the Energy Research Department of the Kansas Geological Survey.This project created extended data for wells. Some of the extended data includes the well tops for each well and the owner of the tops, the result of the Type Log Committee evaluation of the tops, the Stratigraphic Units for the Type Log Project & CO2 Project, the Committee members for the Type Log Project that are selecting & evaluating the tops, and Log LAS 3.0 files. This type Log LAS 3.0 file contains the Log ASCII Standard (LAS) 3.0 File Information for the final files containing the Log Data, Tops Data and, if present, the Geologist Report Data. These files are part of the final deliverables for the Type Log Project and are also part of the CO2 Project mapper program to allow the user to build General Cross Sections with these files.

Class II injection wells come in two varieties: disposal wells and secondary/enhanced oil recovery wells. Disposal wells are used to inject fluids into rock formations that do not produce oil or gas. The formations are isolated from usable quality groundwater and are sealed above and below by unbroken and impermeable rock formations. Secondary/enhanced oil recovery wells are used to inject fluids into formations/reservoirs that produce oil or gas. The formations are also isolated. Injection of fluid into these formations often allows for increased recovery of oil or gas reserves. For more information, see the Kansas Corporation Commission's FAQ on Class II Injection Wells. To query Class II wells, see the interactive KGS query tool.Class II injection wells in Kansas are regulated by the Kansas Corporation Commission. The data is collected and distributed by the Kansas Geological Survey.

This digital data release contains geospatial geologic and paleontological data of the 1° x2 °, 1:250,000 Limon quadrangle covering eastern Colorado and western Kansas. The dataset is a digital reproduction of previously published U.S. Geological Survey field mapping which illustrates the spatial configuration of primarily Quaternary surficial units overlying upper Miocene, Oligocene, Paleocene, and Upper Cretaceous bedrock (Sharps, 1980). This quadrangle contains numerous outcrop of the Ogallala Formation, which is a prolific freshwater aquifer throughout the broader great plains. A structure contour map of the top of the Dakota Sandstone are included, which was constructed using selected oil and gas well logs (Sharps, 1980). The Dakota Sandstone is a productive hydrocarbon reservoir within the Limon quadrangle, and the broader Denver-Julesburg Basin. Point data for Mesozoic invertebrate fossil collection localities are depicted on the map, depicted with either Denver or Washington D.C. U.S. Geological Survey catalog numbers (Sharps, 1980). The digital geologic database presented here is an accurate replication of original US. Geological Survey mapping in the Limon quadrangle (Sharps, 1980). Geologic map polygons, fossil points, faunal zones, and structure contours were digitized and attributed as GIS data sets as part of the U.S. Geological Survey’s ongoing studies on a regional and national scale. The geologic map polygons, fossil point features, faunal zone lines, and structure contour lines are distributed as separate feature classes within a geographic information system geodatabase. Contoured elevation values are given in feet, to maintain consistency with the original publication, and in meters. Nonspatial tables define the data sources used, define terms used in the dataset, and describe the geologic units. A tabular data dictionary describes the entity and attribute information for all attributes of the geospatial data and the accompanying nonspatial tables.

Welcome to the KDHE / KCC Chloride Contaminated Sites Viewer. This web app displays the Public Land Survey (PLSS) sections in Kansas that contain sites undergoing remediation for chloride contamination. This map does not show the exact area of contamination, but only highlights the legal boundary within which the contamination took place.Please note:Chloride contamination on state-led contaminated sites, voluntary sites, orphan sites, and state-led federal Superfund sites are regulated by the Bureau of Remediation at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (affected sections are orange on the map).Chloride contamination resulting from oil and gas exploration and production activities are regulated by the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) through the Abandoned Oil and Gas Well/Site Remediation Program (affected sections are purple on the map).The remediation locations are approximate only.KDHE and KCC make no assurances of the accuracy or validity of information presented on this map. Data is updated as needed.For further information, please contact the Bureau of Remediation . More information about KDHE can be found on the Kansas Department of Health and Environment website .

Cell maps for each oil and gas assessment unit were created by the USGS as a method for illustrating the degree of exploration, type of production, and distribution of production in an assessment unit or province. Each cell represents a quarter-mile square of the land surface, and the cells are coded to represent whether the wells included within the cell are predominantly oil-producing, gas-producing, both oil and gas-producing, dry, or the type of production of the wells located within the cell is unknown. The well information was initially retrieved from the IHS Energy Group, PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data on CD-ROM, which is a proprietary, commercial database containing information for most oil and gas wells in the U.S. Cells were developed as a graphic solution to overcome the problem of displaying proprietary PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data. No proprietary data are displayed or included in the cell maps. The data from PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data were current as of April 2003 when the cell maps were created in 2003.

This layer depicts discovery wells used for determining new oil and gas fields. The data shows information about the discovery wells and the associated fields. This data is reported by the Nomenclature Committee and maintained by the Kansas Geological Survey.

These data show the elevation in feet above mean sea level of the base and top, the extent, the elevation in feet above mean sea level for the potentiometric surface, and the concentration in milligrams per liter (mg/L) of total dissolved solids in ground water of the Dakota aquifer in Kansas. The data presented can be used to delineate the dominant features of the regional flow system within the Dakota aquifers. Such information is valuable in studies focusing on the management of water resources in the Dakota aquifers and other hydraulically connected sources of water. This data is from the Kansas Geological Survey - Geohydrology. The Dakota aquifer consists of sandstone bodies in the Cretaceous Dakota Formation and Cheyenne Sandstone. The coverages were developed from 1:100,000-, 1:175,000-, 1:500,000-, and 1:1,000,000-scale information. The data used to construct the top and base altitude coverages are from oil and gas exploration and production wells penetrating the Dakota aquifer. The data used to map the altitudes consist primarily of gamma ray logs and supplemented by drillers' logs in the Salina basin of north-central Kansas.
