Crane County · Sand Hills (Judkins) field · Vertical
Waddell TR A #259 (API 42-103-01728) is a plugged well in Crane County, plugged October 24, 2024, last operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 17, 2007, permitted to 3,515 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 3 formation tops, including Grayburg, Judkins, McKnight.
Its 2 leases have reported 24M barrels of oil and 101M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 919 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
