OUTSTANDING NEWS ABOUT KANSAS!!!!!
About 10 years ago I lived in Kansas and worked for a company that did power line surveys and updated the maps of the lines and equipment.
I worked the area of SE Kansas and here is part of what is there.
During WWII there were literally thousands of wells sunk and plans were laid for more-->>evident by the maps that were not updated since WWII showing plans to extend the power lines to power new well heads. As a matter of fact, there were even small towns built for the workers that were demolished and erased from the map after the war. Teeterville is one such small town.
After the war, the pump heads were simply cut off at the ground and abandoned. Walking in the prarie, you can smell the crude odor coming out of the open pipes.
As for the gas, that is a closer to the OK border. I did sound for a band and we used to go to Chattaqua KS and play for their town fair once a year and you can see both oil and gas pipes along the highway.
If this is the are of Eureka KS south, that is a vast area for recovery especially and also new wells.
DAMN, been looking for an oil/gas company that was getting into SE Kansas and I literally stumbled into this.
