FORMATIONS · RRC WELLBORE FILE

Kansas City

Reported as a top in 2,161 wells across 10 counties, at a median depth of 7,003 ft (6,013 to 9,700 ft in most wells). 28 of those wells were permitted in the last three years.

A well counts if any of its completion filings report this formation, whether it produces from it or drilled through it. Depths are measured depth as filed; typo depths exist, which is why ranges are percentiles, not extremes. About completion reports →
