Crane County · Sand Hills (Tubb) field · Producing · Vertical

Waddell TR A #527 (API 42-103-01977) is a well in Crane County operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC, completed May 25, 2004 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 8, 2004, permitted to 4,540 ft.

It was permitted by Burlington Res O & G CO-Midland and has since transferred to Blackbeard Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 18.7M barrels of oil and 79.8M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 562 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
