Waddell W. N. #196 (API 42-103-00998) is a plugged well in Crane County, plugged November 17, 2015, last operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 22, 2002, permitted to 10,765 ft.
It was permitted by Burlington Res O & G CO-Midland and has since transferred to Blackbeard Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Devonian.
Its 2 leases have reported 6.5M barrels of oil and 9.9M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 121 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
