Waddell TR A #494
Crane County · Sand Hills (Wojcik-McElroy) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Waddell TR A #494 (API 42-103-01950) is a well in Crane County operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC, completed May 22, 2017 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in March 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 2, 2008, permitted to 3,535 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 5 formation tops, including Queen, Mcelroy, Grayburg, Judkins.
Its 2 leases have reported 18.8M barrels of oil and 67.8M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 662 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
