Waddell TR A #50 (API 42-103-02344) is a well in Crane County operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC, completed August 16, 1999 and listed as partial plug on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 1998.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued September 23, 2013, permitted to 4,746 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 Mcelroy, Judkins, McKnight, San Angelo.

Its 2 leases have reported 25.3M barrels of oil and 108M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 809 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
