Waddell TR A #916 (API 42-103-10855) is a plugged well in Crane County, plugged January 7, 2025, last operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 16, 2002, permitted to 3,820 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 7 formation tops, including Rustler, Mcelroy, Grayburg, San Andres.

Its 2 leases have reported 6.63M barrels of oil and 29.2M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 249 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.
