Waddell TR A #781W (API 42-103-02228) is a plugged well in Crane County, plugged May 26, 2026, last operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 2003 and 2013, permitted to 4,800 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 6 formation tops, including San Andres, San Angelo, Clear Fork, Tubb.

Its 3 leases have reported 25.3M barrels of oil and 108M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 810 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
