What the well bond actually covers
Kansas requires every oil and gas operator to give the Corporation Commission (KCC) financial assurance that its wells will be plugged at the end of their life, under K.S.A. 55-155 and the KCC conservation regulations. The bond covers active, inactive, injection and disposal wells alike — including service wells used to inject produced water or dispose of waste fluids.
An operator can post an individual bond equal to $.75 times the total aggregate depth of all its wells, or a blanket bond scaled to well count and depth that generally runs from $7,500 to $45,000. The statute also allows alternatives — a nonrefundable fee equal to 6% of the bond amount, qualifying salvage property, or other approved security.
The bond is a plugging-and-abandonment guarantee: if an operator walks away from a well, the KCC can draw on it to plug the well and protect groundwater. It is not insurance for the operator — if the commission draws on the bond, you repay the surety. Enter the amount the KCC set and we issue at a flat 3%.
