Table 3a. The twenty largest Kansas oil fields by cumulative production through 1994.
Together these twenty fields have produced over 2.2 billion barrels of oil
from 8,003 wells, approximately 37% of the states total cumulative oil production.
A total of 6,036 fields have been recognized in Kansas as of the end of 1994.
