Crane County · Sand Hills (San Angelo Upper) field · Producing · Vertical
Waddell TR A #552W (API 42-103-02002) is a well in Crane County operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC, completed August 28, 2025 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 12, 2014, permitted to 4,950 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 4 formation tops, including San Andres, McKnight, San Angelo, Tubb.
Its 2 leases have reported 25.3M barrels of oil and 108M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 809 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
