The Kansas oil and gas industry is regulated by the Kansas Corporation Commission. Please check their home page (http://www.kcc.state.ks.us/) to determine the legalities and procedures for oil and gas wells. Information about plugging abandoned water wells is available from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (http://www.kdheks.gov/water/index.html). You can find lists of plugged oil and gas wells from the KGS Plugged Well Database and can find out about water wells in Kansas from the Water Well Completion Database.
