The Data Resources Library at the Kansas Geological Survey is the State of Kansas repository for oil, gas, and water well records. Documents are available to the public at the Library and many can be accessed on our web site. Patrons may visit during regular business hours, or may contact the Library by phone, fax, or email to place orders. Library staff will photocopy and mail documents or scan records and place them on our public web site for viewing.
Documents are filed using the Public Land Survey System--Section, Township, and Range; customers should request information by location in this format.
