Waddell TR A #8 (API 42-103-02303) is a well in Crane County operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC, completed March 7, 2007 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits between 1978 and 2007, permitted to 6,116 ft.
It was permitted by Burlington Res O & G CO-Midland and has since transferred to Blackbeard Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 18.7M barrels of oil and 79.3M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 563 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
