Top 20
Oil and Gas Producers in Kansas
The following tables show oil and gas production for the top 20 operators
for the state fiscal year from July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2002 (FY2002).
Tables were generated from relational databases maintained by the Kansas
Geological Survey using data supplied by the Kansas Department of Revenue.
Given that productive leases are continuously transferred between operators,
production for individual operators may not be current.
During FY2002, a total of 2,288 operators reported oil production of
33,585,682 barrels, which is down from the 34,273,223 barrels reported
in FY2001. The top 20 operators produced 2,175,210 barrels of oil, and
accounted for 36.25% of total production.
Gas production during FY2002 was reported by 989 operators and totaled
472 billion cubic feet (bcf), which is down from the 494 bcf reported
in FY2001. The top 20 operators produced 387 bcf of gas, and accounted
for 81.8% of total production.
