Waddell TR A #157 (API 42-103-02448) is a well in Crane County operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC, completed June 7, 2003 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2023.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2003 and 2012, permitted to 4,810 ft.
It was permitted by Burlington Res O & G CO-Midland and has since transferred to Blackbeard Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 18.7M barrels of oil and 79.1M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 561 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.
Wells nearby
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.

Well logs
2 logs loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Jun 11, 2008. Density, Gamma ray, Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.
