In this view, hatching marks our estimate, and in the most recent months that is volume still to be filed. Past the divider, the chart continues only the bands it has drawn. Each band continues as our estimate, from any filings already in and then from our forecast, built by summing our per-well forecasts. The method behind each well is recorded with the forecast. The forward months cover existing wells only. How our methods work

All from what the source published. All held at well grain.

How the volume breaks down
  • 98.3% Reported by the official source by well
  • 1.7% Reported by the official source as a lease total, split across the lease's wells. The regional total shown is the reported number, to rounding.

Every cubic foot through March 2026 starts from what the official source published for those months. Measured over January 1987 to March 2026.

What we cover here

Each row names the grain a region’s production is held at. Where a source publishes at a coarser grain, the page says so.

DataGrainSinceBenchmark
Kansas production well 1987-01 ~99–100% of EIA

Benchmark cells compare our series with the EIA’s published estimates.

About the EIA comparison

The two are produced differently: the EIA estimates from a survey of the largest operators and a model built to anticipate late filings, while the series compared here are rebuilt from the source’s own records as they arrive. Recent months can differ without either being wrong; the methodology page explains both methods.

Coverage rows for Kearny County, Kansas are regenerated at every build from the same catalog of sources the data is built from.

What the data shows

  • Kearny County, Kansas produced 365 Mbbl (thousand barrels) of oil and 13.5 Bcf of natural gas in 2025.
  • Kearny County, Kansas gas production peaked in 1995 at 95.3 Bcf; 2025 output of 13.5 Bcf ran at 14% of that peak.
  • 1,665 producing wells tracked, 12 months to May 2026.
