What this tracks
This dataset tracks areas in Kansas where water or other fluids are injected into oil wells to enhance production through pressure maintenance.
Why it matters to you
If you own land or mineral rights in Kansas, this data tells you whether your property is part of an active waterflood project — which could mean ongoing oil production royalties or potential future drilling activity. Farmers can check if nearby injection operations might affect groundwater resources. Small businesses servicing oilfields can identify active operators like Lario Oil & Gas Company for potential contracts.
How to read this data
FIELDNAME — The oil field being flooded (e.g., “Bemis-Shutts”).
OPERATOR — The company managing injections (e.g., “Lario Oil & Gas Company”).
ACTIVE — Shows “1” for currently operating projects versus “0” for inactive.
TOTALOIL — Annual oil production in barrels (e.g., “6778” barrels).
Try it yourself
Check if your county (like Ellis County) has active waterflood projects by searching the operator field for companies working near you.
